First-rounder Brian Burns off to superhero start for Panthers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Brian Burns crouched a few yards behind Chase Daniel after sacking the Chicago Bears quarterback for a 7-yard loss Thursday. He used an inside swim move that made Bears undrafted tight end Ian Bunting look silly.

It was the second of two “Spider-Man" poses the 16th pick of the 2019 draft had in his NFL preseason debut on Thursday at Soldier Field.

In his words afterward -- while wearing a Spider-Man shirt -- he said it was the kind of pose the superhero does when he’s on top of a building and looking over the city he is committed to protect.
