If you watched Brian Burns in college, you knew the former Florida State star became known as Spider-Man with his sack celebrations and social media references.
"I always loved Spider-Man as a kid," Burns said. "But then I just took it to a whole other level when I did a sack celebration as Spider-Man. I just kept it going and now it’s a part of me.
"And I’m going to keep it going in the NFL."
That much was clear on draft night.
Burns showed up wearing Spider-Man socks, which he proudly showed off. Then, when the Panthers selected him 16th overall and he took the stage to greet commissioner Roger Goodell, Burns flashed the Spider-Man web shooter pose.
