Let's hope Mims stays healthy and is a Pro-Bowl tackle!
True but Burrow also had a very bad habit of hanging onto the ball too long in the pocket which certainly aided in his injuries. Can't blame that on the OL. Nor did he navigate the pocket well enough by stepping up and/or taking off. It's no knock on JB as he had a clean slate at LSU and the NFL is a huge learning process even for the #1 pick. JB learned the past couple years to run away from pressure, navigate the pocket better, step up in the pocket and take off for the free yards.
