Generally the only time he had pressure was when they only had 5 in protection and the overloaded a spot with a blitz.
BTW, anyone who thinks Joe is going to avoid rushers in the NFL like he did in college needs to realize that he was rarely being chased by a group of NFL level talented pass rushers. Johnny Maoziel made it look easy to avoid the pass rush in college also. But things change when everyone rushing you is an NFL talent.
Not bashing Joe. Just trying to keep the discussion realistic.
Cushenberry and Damien Lewis were pretty good but that was mostly cause they are good run blockers.
Burrow got hit tons and it wasn't cause they were in five-man protection...
Read what Holic shown in the Bengals failing Burrow thread...
Statistically, in 5 man pro the QB gets sacked less and it opens it up for the QB so he has more lanes and more options.
Definitely true that Joe hasn't faced NFL level yet but the SEC as you know is the best in college for the most part.
