Last year Joe Burrow’s biggest weakness was throwing the ball deep.
In fact, you could say he was the worst deep ball thrower in the league:
This year, he has the most touchdown passes of 30+ air yards in the entire NFL. You might say he’s now the best deep thrower in the NFL. So what’s changed? Did Burrow hit the weights and gain a stronger arm? Did the pro game start to slow for him? What is going on?!
You can actually find the very simple answer by just looking at the recipient of those four long touchdown passes: Ja’Marr Chase.
