Joe "Freakin" Burrow!!

Last edited Mon Jan 31, 2022, 11:21 AM - Edit history (1)

Heisman winner.

College champion with LSU.

Now he has an opportunity to win a Super Bowl (and maybe even be the Super Bowl MVP?)

No QB has accomplished all of these things in pro football history. Joe Burrow has a chance to do it all within a three-year span.

And he's coming off of ACL surgery from last year!

Unbelievable!!!



*This post is in no way an attempt to draw attention to my Joe Burrow fandom. I admire and respect the guy, but I've not always sung his praises. Not an "I told you so" situation because I highly doubted the Bengals would advance beyond the AFC Championship against the Chiefs (but I did pick them to beat the Raiders and Titans, at least).

I got a kick out of this YouTube comment on that video:

"I loved him in Home Alone but I'm so proud of his transition to football, not many child stars have this kind of success later on in life."

He adapts so quickly, stays so calm under fire.
And, that's got to be tough. Based on Line Win numbers, he plays behind the 4th worst offensive line in the NFL. Yet, he comes through over & over.
The rookie kicker is also pretty icy cool!
