Brian Burns Mentoring Kayvon Thibodeaux

New York Giants star pass rusher Brian Burns says he and fellow pass rusher KAyvon Thibodeaux will improve each other.

Brian Burns joins the Giants this offseason after five productive years with the Panthers. In Carolina, Brian Burns had 46 sacks in 80 games on his way to two Pro Bowl selections.

The only other players to have 7.5 sacks in each of the last five seasons are Myles Garrett and Chris Jones.

According to Burns and Thibodeaux, there’s a beneficial sense of competition brewing between the two.

“It’s still been going good,” Burns said.

“We had a competition yesterday in that last call-it period. Whoever got the first sack had to do 25 pushups or something like that and he got it. I’ll give it to him for now. But yeah, we’re still having that friendly competition. It’s going to help us get better.

“It’s been a constant battle between me and him,” Burns said. “I embrace the opportunity. Ever since he got back, because you know he wasn’t practicing in the beginning of OTAs, but ever since he got back, I’ve been on his side. We’re definitely going to get each other better. Today, he kind of got me a little pissed off. He edged me out today. So, tomorrow we got a battle. We got to get that back, for sure.”

“It’s been a great competitive spirit,” Thibodeaux said. 

“You know, we’ve been going back and forth on technique, on playstyle, and then just even on, you know, hard work, how much work we actually putting in and how much we run to the ball. And, you know, lifting up the standards, so it’s been great having him, you know, be a vet, come in and kind of show me some more aspects of the game.”
