My son's high school team played against Athens High School when Burrow was there. Outside of the broken thumb he experienced while at Ohio State, I believe last years knee injury is the 1st major injury Burrow has faced. That being the case, I'm sure there are multiple aspects Joe is dealing with mentally as he continues to recover. He'll get there, may just take a little time. I will say that it may be more beneficial to him to let him feel a bit more heat during practice/preseason to let him realize he can still take a hit.
May not be a popular opinion, but sheltering him by keeping the D completely away from him may not be doing him any favors.
