Ding ding, we have a winner. Reps to you, sir.
I like what I’ve seen from burrow this year, but this comparison scares me. A lot.
The only real difference I could find - and it’s a doozie - is completion percentage. Akili’s was 58% his senior year, which carried over to his pro career (barf-inducing 46.6%). Burrow’s is currently an unbelievable 78.8%.
Obviously there are other factors (football smarts, athleticism, etc.) and no two players are alike, but this really shocked me.
