Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has vaulted himself into stardom while leading his team on an improbable run to Super Bowl 56. Burrow may not be regarded in the same tier as the Patrick Mahomes' and the Aaron Rodgers' of the world, but that is certainly where he is aspiring to be. Ahead of Super Bowl 56, Burrow dropped a bold take on Packers star Aaron Rodgers, via ESPN.

“I'm chasing Aaron Rodgers to try to be the best,” Burrow said during the final day of Super Bowl media interviews. “He's been doing it for a long time.”

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said that he's “chasing Aaron Rodgers to try to be the best” with Super Bowl 56 around the corner. That is certainly a bold statement about the Packers star, as many consider former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Tom Brady to be the best- though Burrow did mention the man considered as the GOAT and Mahomes as well.
