Beyond the Flats: Morgan Burnett

In March, Morgan Burnett announced his retirement after 10 seasons in the NFL. Drafted in the second round by the Green Bay Packers in 2010, Burnett was a stalwart on the defense and a consummate professional throughout his career. He won a Super Bowl as a rookie and started every game in which he played for the Packers (113 games), before playing for the Steelers in 2018 and the Browns in 2019. He collected 11 interceptions during his career and twice led his team in tackles (2014 and 2016).

Throughout his time in the League, Burnett made sure to make an impact off the field as well.
