Former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow proved in his rookie season that he was worth the hype that surrounded him before the 2020 NFL Draft.

Burrow only played in 10 games in 2020 — thanks to a torn ACL that ended his season prematurely — but he was extremely impressive in those 10 games.

The former Tiger was on pace for 4,300 passing yards when his season abruptly ended.

While we didn’t get to see a full season of Burrow, we saw enough to know that he’s a future star in the NFL.
