Joe Burrow: The Rise of a College Football Superstar

From Athens, Ohio to the top of the NFL

Joe Burrow, the 6-4, 221-pound quarterback from Athens, Ohio, had a spectacular 2019 season with the LSU Tigers. In December 2019, he was awarded the Heisman Trophy and was unanimously voted as the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Despite not starting a game in his first four years of college, Burrow had an incredible breakout season in 2019. He threw for 5,671 yards, 60 touchdowns, and only 6 interceptions. He also rushed for 375 yards and 8 touchdowns.

Burrow's success helped lead the Tigers to a 15-0 record and a victory in the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship Game. In that game, Burrow threw for 394 yards and 5 touchdowns to earn Offensive MVP honors.

Now in the NFL, Burrow has continued to impress. In his first two seasons with the Bengals, he has thrown for over 9,000 yards, 70 touchdowns, and only 20 interceptions. He has also rushed for over 1,000 yards.

Burrow's success is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He is a role model for athletes and non-athletes alike, and his story is an inspiration to anyone who dreams of achieving their goals.
