When he broke college records, he was throwing to a guy who was an All Pro as a rookie and a guy we're discussing taking #5 overall.
Did he make AJ look good last year? Tate? Thomas? Erickson?
It's cool to want Sewell, but Burrow didn't make lesser receivers better in college and he didn't do it as a rookie, either. You put great weapons around him and he'll destroy teams and make it look easy, but he has shown no ability to make guys look better than they really are to this point in his career.
I guess I'm just looking at what he can do if given the opportunities because he has great ball placement and can read defenses, which is something you could see while setting records in college, regardless of who his receivers were.
There have been lots of great college receivers whose quarterbacks didn't set records or even succeed nearly as much as Burrow did.
