You all know I refuse to judge any player by his rookie season. There are countless examples of great players who looked bad as a rookie no matter what round they were taken.

I am also more likely to still have hope for a player even after a second sub-par year. Especially if he has a new coach who might make a difference.

But Jordan did not show any real improvement from year 1 to year 2. And that is the first thing I consider when evaluating a players chances of improving dramatically in year 3. So if he is still getting blown up in preseason games year three I don't even want him for a backup.

He actually did show significant improvement last year...

'19=648 snaps, 6 Penalties, 6 Sacks Allowed, 43.7 PFF

'20=731 snaps, 1 Penalty, 3 Sacks Allowed, 55.7 PFF

However, Burrow's injury greatly colors his body of work last year.  

I'm not banging on the table for the guy, but if has a similar jump this year as he had last year, he would be firmly in average starter range.
