Seahawks’ CB Is Salivating After Second Chance With Seattle

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Artie Burns since leaving college at the University of Miami has either been injured or has underperformed. However, he still possesses the talent the Pittsburgh Steelers saw when they took him with the 25th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Last season for the Chicago Bears, Burns played 11 games and had 21 tackles [17 solo and four assists], according to NFL.com.

Burn is looking to become a starter this season with the Seahawks and continue his upward project in the Emerald City.

Burns’ arrival at the Seahawks concluded a process that began during the 2020 season and was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. He had narrowed down his choices to Seattle or Chicago and eventually chose the Bears because of the closeness of his family.

Moving across the country in the middle of a pandemic was not the pressure he wanted to put on his six- and three-year-old children at the time.

“They are super clingy. They don’t want me to be too far away,” Burns said.

Rookie CB Coby Bryant is turning heads at Seahawks practice

According to ESPN’s Brady Henderson, “Coby Bryant’s ball skills continue to show up now that DBs can actually defend throws.  Today, he had another PBU [Pass Break Up] on a wobbly Drew Lock deep ball into the wind. Bryant is still the No. 2 LCB behind Sidney Jones.
