WNYer Tackles the NFL

Antwon Burton
A Western New Yorker is getting his big chance in the NFL. Antwon Burton from Cheektowaga has just signed with the Carolina Panthers. The Cleveland Hill and ECC product has bounced around the league for a few years, but this is his big shot. The Panthers defensive tackle spot has been plagued by injuries. So Burton should see more playing time than he has in Denver, Kansas City or Cincinnati. The Panthers have lost two starters at the position.
Burton, a former undrafted free agent from Temple, has played 7 NFL career games.
