Lorenzo Burns returned to Arizona to boost NFL Draft stock, lead young cornerbacks

If the Pac-12 waited until the spring to play football, the Arizona Wildcats probably would have lost their top cornerback.

Not to transfer, but the NFL Draft.

“Because not having a season and playing in the spring and then me coming back next year being 24 years old, that’s really old as a college football player,” redshirt senior Lorenzo Burns said Friday via Zoom call. “So I think that was one consideration rather than transfer.”

Burns, who has graduated from the UA, already considered declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft after his redshirt junior season.
