Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is going to be a star in the NFL for years to come.
Burrow and the Bengals lost a tight one Thursday night to the Browns, but it’s crystal clear to me that the LSU Heisman winner has all the makings of a star. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

We all know Burrow throws a nice ball, and we all know he doesn’t have the strongest arm. That’s okay. He’s a solid athlete, but not a great athlete. He has a nice arm, but not a great arm.
That’s who Joe Burrow is, but what makes Joe Burrow special is the fact that dude’s poise is absurdly special, especially for a rookie.

Even though the Bengals didn’t get the win Thursday night, the man never flinched. He fought and fought until the bitter end.
The transition from college QB to NFL starter might be the toughest transition in all of sports. Yet, Burrow has made it look easy.

Even if he doesn’t have the greatest physical tools, the man had the leadership and poise I want in a starting quarterback in the NFL. He has a very bright future ahead of him.
