How good is Joe Burrow? According to former Bengals star T.J. Houshmandzadeh -- he's, right now, better than Tom Brady!!!
The ex-Cincinnati wideout made the claim to TMZ Sports just ahead of the Bengals' season-opener ... saying the team's star quarterback is simply that good at the moment.
"He's top five," T.J. said of the 25-year-old signal-caller. "I don't know who comes out of the top five, but in no particular order, when you ask me who are the top five quarterbacks, I'm going to say Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen.
