Obviously sample size is important but it’s still special non the less. If he’s already figured out NFL defenses this much in year 3 i don’t see much drop off.
It's very impressive by Burrow, but also it's representative of the NFL league-wide lately.
League Average Comp% When Entered NFL (Difference Between Last)
Burrow (2020): 65.2% (+5.1%)
Dalton (2011): 60.1% (+1.3%)
Palmer (2003): 58.8% (+1.7%)
A Smith (1999): 57.1% (-0.4%)
Klinger (1992): 57.5% (+0.9%)
Esiason (1984): 56.4%
Gradual increase for the most part with a HUGE jump lately. So it's really mostly just him competing with guys from the last decade with a couple vets sprinkled in. Jimmy G is the 2nd in Comp% in NFL history right now, Watson is 3rd, Prescott is 4th, Herbert is 5th. 8 of the top 10 career Cmp% played this year and when Burrow qualifies it will become 9 of the top 10.
