Pivot Family! hit the button to SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnxiP7q4RDDyeioZFZLnXA?sub_confirmation=1 “We got a lot of cornerstone spots and talent in different areas…We have our guy at quarterback and with the talent around him, we can take this wherever we want to go with it.” Today on The Pivot Podcast, we’re joined by one of the NFL’s most dominant edge rushers — Brian Burns. Coming off a record-breaking season with the New York Giants, where he racked up 16.5 sacks — second most in the NFL behind Myles Garrett, Brian opens up about the defining moments of his career and the evolution of his game. He reflects on leaving the Carolina Panthers, what that transition meant personally and professionally, and how embracing change pushed him to another level. Brian opens up on his personal experience on the NFL being a business and no matter how many times you hear it, you don't truly know until you've gone through it and the impact of leaving a city he thought would be his career-home. Despite a record-setting year for Burns, the team success of Giants is something that weighs on him and is committed to turning his focus to building off the positives and has high hopes for what a new coach will add to the organization. From key veteran leadership to the electric play of quarterback Jaxon Dart, Brian believes New York's future is bright because of Dart's confidence, the skill level of offensive weapons, and young bulls like Adbul Carter being a fierce competitor with strong years ahead. Brian also gets candid about family, the role they’ve played in keeping him grounded, and how perspective off the field fuels excellence on it. From navigating expectations in a new city to discussing the future of the Giants, leadership, and legacy, this conversation goes far beyond stats and highlights. And of course, the guys have some laughs, as Channing knows Brian from the time he was a young boy living in south Florida as they exchange some stories of how Brian remembers Channing from back then haha. And that spirited love continues to now as Channing gets on him about having grown man hobbies vs the anime collection he boasts. This is an honest, insightful look into the mindset of an elite competitor — one who understands that growth, sacrifice, and purpose are just as important as production.

I am a 68yr old white dude. This was the best interview I've ever seen. The questions were just what I would have asked if I had the man sitting in my yard having a few drinks. I subscribed and liked. Keep this going men. After the season we had, with men like Burns and scat and carter and dart, we have hope!

With all of hype over the rookies (deserved imo) Burns is a DAWG !! BEST pickup in a very long time for the GMEN ! Add some help in the secondary and I believe our defense could be legit. Man needs C on his jersey.
