56. Scouting Report. LSU. 9. player. Pick Analysis. QB. Joe Burrow

All throughout the 2019 season, I feel like I was waiting for Joe Burrow to regress to some kind of mean.

The fact of the matter is, he reached new heights as a prospect in Joe Brady’s offense, and reached a new level of confidence in himself as a player as well as the players around him at LSU.

And there were some talented players playing alongside him for the Tigers, but everyone already knows that.

What Burrow did in 2019 was go from a guy who was a nice game manager on a team that, if they had a great defense and running game might be able to contend in the SEC to a guy who was elevating some of the best talent in the country to a level which appeared as though it would hold up against an NFL roster for at least a little while.

Burrow was a star among stars in college football this season, and he’s the fit for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Zac Taylor will, of course, be implementing his own version of what he helped run in Los Angeles with the Rams, but Burrow is suited for the offense nonetheless. He’s not going to win the strongest arm in the 2020 class, but Burrow has plenty of arm talent to do whatever the Bengals want to any level of the field, and he has tremendous pocket poise and running ability to make plays when the pocket breaks down.
