Burns' 16.5 sacks may not be sustainable despite strong finish rate.
Brian BurnsDLNYG
Burns' 16.5 sacks in 2025 (career-high, second time reaching double figures) are analyzed as potentially unsustainable. While Burns was 'fantastic' in 2024 with 8.5 sacks, his advanced metrics don't fully support his sack total: 7.7% pass rush pressure rate (30th among 62 qualifiers) and 7.0% pass rush win percentage (60th). The source suggests Burns may 'fall back to earth' given he's entering his eighth season, comparing him to Myles Garrett and noting 'He's not going to reach those numbers every year.' However, the source credits Burns with finishing plays when he gets pressure and expects a different defensive scheme under new coordinator Dennard Wilson may impact his production differently.
