Prepare for this comp often, I actually gave it a couple weeks ago in terms of his throwing motion and specifically his boundary ball placement.
From MMQB...
Joe Burrow’s not Tom Brady, but.… I’ve heard the comp enough, and for long enough (it goes back to early fall for me), from scouting types, that I had to check it out.
“Yeah, and I’m already prepared for the backlash on Twitter, because I know it’s coming,” Jeremiah said. “Because at the combine when they ask me for my comparison, how does this sound—you say somebody’s a more athletic version of the greatest football player of all-time. Look, Kevin Faulk is there at LSU, he played with Brady, he’s been around Joe Burrow, he’s told every scout that comes through there, this guy is just like Tom.
“Mechanically, he’s just like Tom. He functions in an offense where we just talked about getting guys in the route, good decisions, accuracy, all that stuff, very similar to Tom. He looks just like him.”
