25. Brian Burns

The Carolina Panthers have not had much to smile at from 2018 to 2023, but they had a ray of sunshine in Brian Burns.

The former Florida State Seminole joined the Panthers as a First Round Pick in 2018 (18th Overall) and started five games as a rookie. A starter in 2020, Burns became one of the NFC South’s best pass rushers, collecting Pro Bowl nods in 2021 and 2022, with his best numbers coming in 2022 with 12.5 Sacks/17 Tackles for Loss/22 Quarterback Hits,  After another solid 2023, Burns was franchise tagged, and then traded to the New York Giants leaving behind 46 Sacks, 59 TFL and 95 Quarterback Hits.
