It's a new week for Steelers' cornerback Artie Burns.
After getting arrested early Friday morning for driving with a suspended license, Burns posted a video of himself going through a 5 a.m.
pool workout on Sunday morning, as Pittsburgh's second year cornerback continues to prepare for the 2017 season.
While neither Burns or the Steelers have addressed Friday's incident publicly, the team's former No.1 pick did discuss his team's need to
get better at man coverage during OTAs.
"We learned that in New England last year," Burns said while alluding to Tom Brady's 384 passing yards in the Patriots' victory over a
Steelers' defense that played mostly zone defense in the AFC Championship Game. "There's always some opening in a zone defense. To be able
to get a guy right in someone's chest with the pressure,to play man, it affects the quarterback a little bit.
" Burns continued,"Every team that's won Super Bowls the last couple of years has been able to play man, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "We want
to be a team to play man,

The team should also get improved play from Burns and second year safety Sean Davis, who revealed during OTAs that he played most of his
rookie season with a torn labrum that required surgery in January.
the team's No.1 pick in 2016,Burns, said on Wednesday that he has upped his conditioning this offseason while gaining five pounds of
muscle. He said that he has also been working with Ross Cockrell to help the Steelers' secondary gain respect across the NFL after the unit
fell under criticism over the past several seasons.
"Me and Ross just wanna be one of the best," Burns said. "We just see eye-to-eye on all sorts of things. We just wanna make each other be
better for ourselves,
, push each other every day, for our family and for our team. We just come out every day,
