Joe Burrow’s return to the football field is something that all Bengals and LSU fans have been looking forward to.
Could Joe Burrow somehow be even more mobile after his season-ending knee injury last season? Don’t rule it out, not with Burrow.
And as NFL teams enter the mandatory minicamp phase of the NFL offseason, Burrow videos and clips are beginning to emerge.
Burrows mobility and overall health of his knee will be a big storyline in his sophomore season.
It’s very early, but what we’re seeing thus far from Burrow is extremely encouraging. He looks more than comfortable in his movement and while his knee may not yet be 100%, he certainly looks on schedule to be ready for week one.

Multiple reporters in Cincinnati state that Burrow and the Bengals staff repetitively worked on several rollout, bootleg plays.

Although Burrow’s been throwing and working on aspects of his game for a while now, this was easily the most mobile we’ve seen from him since he returned.
Burrow isn’t Lamar Jackson.
But he isn’t slow either.

Mobility and “explosiveness” is something Burrow is on record saying he’s working on this offseason.
It’s still early, but Bengals fans should be very encouraged watching these brief clips.
