If I was to pick a player it would be Trey Hopkins who will be instrumental in helping Burrow set the protections and helping him recognize what defensive fronts are doing pre-snap.
Hopkins is a good one, sure happy we finally have a decent Center. Definitely should help out Burrow tons as we all know
what a shitty one can do to a QB.

If everyone stays healthy our trio of "starting" WRs (Green, Boyd, Ross) will remind some people of Chad, TJ, and Henry. If not in talent level at least in the roles they play. And just like back in those days, todays offense probably won't throw a lot to the TE. Housh used to do the dirty work and grind out a lot of those short first downs that TEs usually handle. Boyd is very good at this also. That type of receiver is gold for a rookie QB.
Boyd is one guy you can usually always count on too. Always said he reminds me of Housh in the way Boyd runs his routes
and is clutch with great hands. Sure doesn't seem like Zac puts much stock in TE's either so yeah, this makes sense even if
I would prefer us using versatile TE's more in the passing game. Think it helps out the QB having those big targets out there.
Good thing Burrow is accurate as heck so it might not even matter.
