Brian Burns snubbed from First-Team All-Pro honors after Giants’ dismal campaign
NY Post
Brian Burns’ dominant season couldn’t overcome the stench of the Giants’ 4-13 record.
Burns was named a Second-Team All-Pro by the Associated Press’ panel of 50 voters around the NFL, while the three First-Team edge rusher spots went to the Browns’ Myles Garrett (unanimous), the Texans’ Will Anderson and the Packers’ Micah Parsons.
Burns was on the Second Team with the Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson and Texans’ Danielle Hunter after finishing with 16 1/2 sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
Only Garrett, who broke the NFL record for sacks in a season with 23, brought the quarterback to the ground more often than Burns.
It is the first career AP All-Pro selection for Burns, who was also named to his third Pro Bowl.
No other member of the Giants or Jets were named to the All-Pro teams.
