With Burns’ arrival in Chicago, he’ll be reunited with former Miami Hurricanes teammate safety Deon Bush. Both played college ball together from 2013-15 and were both drafted in 2016. Burns was selected with the 25th pick in the first round while Bush was pick No. 124 in the fourth round.

Interestingly enough, both Burns and Bush will be competing for a starting job in the defensive backfield this season. Perhaps we could see the former college teammates starting again with the Bears.
