Well now, let me tell ya, this Joe Burrow fella, he sure made a big splash, didn’t he? Back in 2020, this young man from Louisiana, he got picked up by them Cincinnati Bengals as the number one pick in the NFL Draft. Quite the honor, you know? They say he was a real gem, what with all them scouts buzzin’ about him like bees in a hive. He was a quarterback at LSU, and I reckon he showed ’em all he had a strong arm, and a brain to match, when he led his college team to win that big ol’ national championship. People were talkin’, sayin’ he’d be the one to turn the Bengals’ luck around.
Now, he wasn’t always the golden boy, mind ya. In his first year in the league, he got hit bad. Tore up his knee, they said—his ACL and MCL. Had him out for the rest of the season. Folks thought, “Well, that’s it for him,” but ol’ Joe wasn’t one to give up so easy. Nah, he came back strong. In just his second year, he led them Bengals to their first playoff win in decades! First since 1990, they say. And that’s no small feat. If you’ve been waitin’ that long, well, you’d be pretty darn excited too.
People started to see what all the fuss was about. Joe Burrow wasn’t just some lucky pick, he was the real deal. Now, in fantasy football, they’re talkin’ ‘bout him a lot too. I reckon his average draft position, or ADP, sits somewhere between pick 57 and 61, dependin’ on the type of league ya in. In a regular league, he’s round about the 6th or 7th round, but in PPR leagues, he’s a bit higher. That’s a pretty good spot for someone who’s still workin’ his way up the ladder, I’d say.
When Burrow first got drafted, folks were curious. A lot of people weren’t sure how he’d fit in with the Bengals, but after a couple of seasons, it was clear as day he was doin’ somethin’ right. He was breakin’ records left and right. He even set a new team record for most pass attempts in a season. Can you believe that? In just a few years, he was already up there with the best of ’em.
Now, ol’ Joe don’t just throw the ball, he does it with style. And that helped him take the Bengals to places they hadn’t been in years. By the time he got to the 2021 season, folks were talkin’ about him like he was a hero. His team was in the playoffs, and I tell ya, there wasn’t a dry eye in Cincinnati when they won that first playoff game in so long. People had been waitin’ their whole lives to see that, and Joe Burrow made it happen.
But what really gets folks excited ‘bout Joe is the way he carries himself. They say he’s humble, focused, and real steady under pressure. He don’t seem like one to get too caught up in all the fame and fortune. He’s just doin’ his job and doin’ it well. They even say he’s like a local hero in Cincinnati now. Folks there don’t just see him as a football player; they see him as one of their own.
Now, lookin’ ahead, I reckon ol’ Joe has a long career ahead of him. He’s still young, and he’s only gettin’ better with each season. Ain’t no tellin’ how far he can take this Bengals team. Some folks think he might be the one to bring home a Super Bowl one day. Who knows? But if he keeps playin’ the way he’s been playin’, I wouldn’t bet against him.
So, for all you folks out there who keep your eye on the NFL and the draft picks each year, keep a close watch on Joe Burrow. He’s a fella who’s goin’ places, and I reckon he’s just gettin’ started.
