FSU Football: Brian Burns leaving was expected, but still hurts

It was the least shocking news of the 2018 season for the FSU football team: Brian Burns, a star studded defensive end who came in and got double digit seasons during his freshman year and did it against last season as a junior, announced that he was forgoing his eligibility with the Seminoles and heading to the NFL Draft.

Now, no one can blame Burns for deciding that he did all that he could in the college game – finishing the year with a losing Seminoles team as a first team ACC selection and positioning himself to be a first round pick this coming April by one of the 32 professional teams out there.
