I just don't get that at all. He was viewed as a 4th round prospect, had an great season that resulted in the coach that came in and changed things up there getting hired as an NFL O-coordinator.
I've seen people mention him like he is Luck or Manning, and he is not.
Manning was a 4 year starter for Tenn who was a first round draft prospect as a Freshman.
Luck, Red shirted his freshman year, then 3 year starter for Stanford, also never looked at as less then a 1st round prospect.
I get it, he had an amazing season, but there is a lot of one year wonders in the world that are exactly that, one year. The system and player match up and things go perfect. Can that continue? Especially when you remove the system.
Nothing in the draft is a for sure thing, but Burrow is the closest thing to it.
Did you watch the NCAA championship? I was more of a skeptic than a believer before I witnessed that game. Burrow put the team on his back on the biggest stage against the best defense, much like Mahommes in the Superbowl, and dominated when it counts, the 3rd and 4th quarter.
