Joe Burrow in Cincinnati
Speaking of Joe Brady…
Joe Burrow built himself into the first-overall selection last season as the triggerman for Brady’s passing game, and he rides that success into the AFC North as the assumed starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. During LSU’s run to a National Championship Burrow checked every single box you want to see from a draft prospect at the quarterback position. He displayed accuracy to all levels of the field, textbook footwork, elite pocket management skills and yes, the competitive toughness to step into an NFL huddle and be a leader.
Now he’ll step into a huddle with a healthy A.J. Green, an emerging Tyler Boyd, the speedy John Ross and one of the NFL’s best running backs in Joe Mixon. Yes, the Bengals have some questions up front but this could be a sneaky good offense in 2020.
Especially if Burrow transitions to the league as we expect he will.
