Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looked like he was well on his way to capping a solid rookie season before a season ending torn ACL and MCL last November derailed those plans. Now, with training camp getting set to start and Burrow looking to be ready by Week 1, he’s drawing some very loft comparisons.
Mike Daniels played with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for seven seasons in Green Bay and now is entering his second year with the Bengals. When asked about Joe Burrow on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football,” Daniels didn’t mince words about the second-year QB.
“You know what I say about Joe Burrow, man — that’s like baby Aaron (Rodgers)…You don’t see many rookies step into a locker room and you would think the guy is a four-year vet if you didn’t know who he was,” Daniels said. “And to have that at the quarterback position, that means he has the right type of savvy, the right type of poise that you only see from guys like Aaron. And I’ve been saying it since I got there, I see a lot of similarities between the two and I’m just excited to be able to be part of it, man.”
That’s quite the praise for Burrow, being compared to the NFL’s reigning MVP. Burrow was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft so, high expectations are nothing new to him.
Burrow and the Bengals will look to climb the ladder of what is expected to be a very competitive AFC North this season.
