The pass rush was impressive, but Burns still has plenty left in the tank. The 26-year-old was dominant off the edge with 8.5 sacks, but he had 42 pressures on the year that could lead to more conversions in 2025.

One of the main goals of New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen since he took over the team three years ago has been to upgrade the overall talent. Thus far, Schoen hasn't really moved the needle in that area.

My plan may deviate significantly from this regime because my goal isn’t to build the best possible team in 2025. I'm looking to the future.
