Even if he is an early 2nd round pick, he still seems a bit underrated to me. Tee has great hands.

Zac Taylor said Joe Burrow's first walkthrough wasn't perfect but Burrow showed a sense of confidence. Could tell the rookie had spent the offseason in the playbook.

Dan Patrick interviewed Joe before the draft and afterwards he said Burrow was "over confident", but then he quickly added "but in a good way".  It is not really possible to be "over confident" in a good way, but I think I understand what Patrick was trying to say.  The QB who was just confident because he has always been great will often have problems if he struggles in the NFL.  Burrow seems to have the type of confidence that will allow him to shrug off any bumps in the road.  He has already experienced set backs, but he is confident that if he just keeps grinding it will all work out.  

I am not saying he does not have confidence in his skills, but he has much more than that.  He is older than most rookies and has already had to learn the sytems of three different OCs.  He is confident in his ability to learn and adapt.  This will serve him well in learning how to play in the NFL.

Still understandable without getting any reps this Offseason pretty much.
