Watch: Panthers DE Brian Burns welcomes Zach Wilson to the NFL

Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns rocked Zach Wilson on the opening drive to formally welcome the rookie quarterback to the NFL.

Brian Burns wasted no time in making an impact on proceedings for the Carolina Panthers against the New York Jets. The defensive end started the game as a 3-4 outside linebacker and immediately set about stamping his authority on proceedings during the first drive of the game.

Burns has the world at his feet in 2021. His explosiveness coming off the edge is a sight to behold and this was there for all to see once again on the opening drive when he was inexcusably left unguarded on a second down.
