I was a fan of him also
Sadly college doesn't turn out Fullbacks as they once did. Not ones that can Block, Run and Catch anyway. NFL teams either have to convert a college RB into an NFL FB, or a TE into a FB. Heck, many college teams go empty backfield so much, it's amazing they still turn out running backs. It is the era of the running quarterback, however that is a good way to get a high priced NFL QB career injured. I hate seeing Burrow after all his injuries, getting pushed by Bengals into a rugby scrum by his team mates. I think Burrows main job is to throw the ball, not be a fullback up the middle. I always fear Burrow is one more injury away from being career injured like Greg Cook. I'm not a fan of always Burrow scrum on short yardage against NFL Defense Monsters. I think Burrow is elusive in the pocket, but not a true running quarterback. Burrows strength is The Hurry Up Offense at LSU and finding open receivers as he wears out defenses still trying to catch their breath from defensing his last pass. When Burrow is on fire passing and in a Hurry Up, that is his real strength, not running. This is why teams should fear him in a 2 minute drill.
