Chris Burns is a battle-tested Dartmouth cornerback trending upward after shaking off injuries
Burns looks like a smart under-the-radar fit at **cornerback** because Dartmouth says he “shook off the injury bug” and finished spring strongly, including **five tackles** in the Green-White scrimmage.[1] At **5-foot-9, 170 pounds**, he profiles as a compact, scrappy defender whose value comes from toughness, recovery, and competitive edge more than pure size.[1] For a team that wants a resilient, ascending defensive back with momentum and proven buy-in, he’s worth attention.[1]
