Joe Burrow is the caliber of quarterback who deserves to be a world champion. Unfortunately, life in the NFL isn't that straightforward. Lots of other players to count on to hold up their end of the bargain, never mind the franchise that's tasked with assembling a Super Bowl-worthy roster.
After winning the national championship at LSU, Burrow was drafted first overall to the Bengals in 2020, only to have his rookie year cut short by a brutal knee injury. He rallied back for Year 2 to lead Cincinnati to Super Bowl LVI, and an AFC Championship Game the next year.
