Burns is one of the centerpiece threats in a front designed to obscure who is rushing and who is dropping. That versatility should make him more dangerous, because protections cannot simply key on one predictable alignment.

Strengths: Elite edge talent, rush/drop versatility and central scheme value.

Weaknesses: Opponents will still plan protection around him, demanding disciplined counters and coordinated rush games.
