As for taking the hits, I'm not saying that's good or bad. I'm probably of Aaron Rodgers' mind on that one: "Slide." But it doesn't mean Joe Burrow is. He's more of the Tom Brady school.
"I think you were playing the Bills and running to the right and somebody knocked your head off. Helmet goes flying." (Nate Clements.) "You got up so fast. And I was like, I want to be like that. I'm going to do that. I forget how old I was, I was probably in middle school at that point. But I just remember that vividly and trying to model myself after that."
It's just how he's wired. It's what makes him great- but also scares the crap out of us at home.
Out of curiosity, is that quote from Burrow or someone else? That hit referenced was in 2001 (absolutely nuts to say that, because I remember it as well) and Burrow would have been five years old.
