CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Congratulations poured into Brian Burns’ cellphone via Twitter on Thursday night after the Carolina Panthers made him the 16th pick of the NFL draft. The Florida State edge rusher replied to thank a few, then deleted the account.
It wasn’t that Burns didn’t want to be bothered as he began his journey into professional football.
He just didn’t want to anyone to spoil the movie “Avengers: Endgame" before he had a chance to see it.
That says a lot about Burns’ ability to focus and control what is important in his life.
