Who was going to tell him? Who was going to tell Joe Burrow on November 22, 2020? On that date, the then candidate for NFL Rookie of the Year was attacked by Chase Young -curiously, number 2 of that Draft-. He tore his cruciate ligament and cut short his first campaign in professionalism. Doubts came…
In the summer, that injury also caused a schism in the Bengals. In the draft, would they rather sign a lineman to protect the newly recovered Burrow or offensive talent and receiver? The franchise did not hesitate and called up the Burrow’s best ally in college, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
February 14, 2022, Joe Burrow is the Bengals’ starting quarterback for the Super Bowl. Your connection with Ja’Marr Chase is the best and youngsters can lead a traditional and historically losing team to its first win. And, incidentally, take its superstar to the ‘seventh heaven’ of North American sport.
No one ever
Because Burrow you can write your name in a place where no one is. the champion of the NFL, college football champion and Heisman Award -the trophy for the best college player-. No quarterback has it and only three players have: Tony Dorsett, Marcus Allen y Charles Woodson. It would be something unprecedented in the most coveted and valued position. The highest paid and the most praised.
Burrow was everything at Louisiana State (LSU) after failing at Ohio State and being the focus of uncomfortable questions about his value. With a wonderful team he shattered college football and his jump to the NFL It has been an immediate success. A difficult year and another of show. Now you are on the verge of something historic.
If something has value in that immensity that is the North American sport, it is American football, both the NFL like NCAA. Universities are practically religions and professional teams more of the same. Being able to be the best, in such a short time, of the two fields will take you to another dimension. It would justify a sports career and he has only been playing professionally for two years.
