Artie Burns starting to see results from matchups with Antonio Brown

In his second season with the Steelers, cornerback Artie Burns produced one interception in 16 games.

In the first three days of training camp this summer, Burns had two.

Sure, it’s only practice and the stakes aren’t nearly as high, but Burns is hoping his early success is a sign of things to come once the games start to count in September.

“It’s my third year,” said Burns, who left practice early Monday with a minor injury. “It’s time to really start chipping in and show what I can do.”

For the second training camp in a row, Burns has engaged in single coverage with All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown. This year, Burns is starting to win his share of the matchups.

must be his C.T.E talking.

He needs to have a breakout season. Last year he gave up too much cushion to some of his better match ups IMO.

I'd put that on Butler and the schemes more than anything. Needs to let these guys step up and play man, and take some risks here and there. Our defense needs to be fast, aggressive, and sure tackling.
