Mike Tomlin Sets Record Set About Immediate Future Of Steelers CB Artie Burns

That benching needed to be done, however, as Burns’ penchant for giving up big plays or committing defensive penalties couldn’t be tolerated any longer. During his Monday media session at the annual league meetings in Phoenix, Arizona, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin set the record straight when Burns’ play last season was referenced as being a “little disappointing” during a question.
