There are very athletic QBs who can avoid a lot of sacks and pick up yards running the ball, but the real magic is when a QB can scramble in the pocket and still keep his eyes downfield to make a huge pass play. That is where guys like Burrow, Rodgers, Mahommes, and Watson can kill defenses. And I think Burrow can do it as well as anyone.
There was a paragraph in the section on "scrambling," that stated Burrow was snubbed:
"Snubbed: Joe Burrow isn't going to kill teams as a runner, but he will make them chase him outside the pocket. Burrow is bigger than people seem to realize (6-4, 215 pounds), giving him a tricky combination of strength and short-area quickness to make the most of his sharp instincts. Burrow's magic outside the pocket played a huge role in Cincinnati's success last season, even if a lot of it came on scramble-drill throws rather than Burrow taking off to run. -- Schatz/Klassen"
