Prior to this season, Joe Burrow seemed to be an after thought when it came to this year’s crop of quarterback prospects. There was Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, and a host of other signal callers that came to mind before the man behind center in Baton Rogue.
Now, after a statistically marvelous regular season, a successful Heisman campaign and a thorough beating of the #4 team in the first round of the playoffs, Burrow finds himself on top.
Flashback to a time before the awards, the interviews, and the mock drafts featuring the 23-year-old as the first overall selection, Burrow was far from the forefront of attention at Ohio State.
