Brian Burns sounds giddy about joining Giants: ‘Overtaken’ with emotions
NY Post
It was just past 5 p.m. Wednesday, and Brian Burns was not sure what he was feeling.
It had been a whirlwind few days, and just a few minutes earlier he had signed his name to a five-year contract worth $141 million to play for the Giants.
His first five NFL seasons were spent with the Panthers, and a trade on Monday sent him to a new city, a new team and a new chapter in his career.
He called the moment “still a little surreal’’ as he sat in the Giants’ facility, his family in the building to share in the big day with him.
“And now I’m kind of overtaken with a lot of emotions,’’ he said. “Once I’m done processing, I’m super excited to be here. Right now I’m kind of all over the place. I’m a little giddy.’’
That is an apt description as to what the Giants and their fans are feeling.
