Joe Burrow is officially one of the 300-plus prospects invited to the 2020 NFL scouting combine, where the Cincinanti Bengals will surely have a close eye on the probable No. 1 pick.
Ahead of the event, NFL.com unleashed the full scouting reports on the notable prospects, including a number grade.
Burrow’s grade? 7.07. The description? “Pro-Bowl Talent and Day 1 Starter.”
The author behind the grades and scale, Lance Zierlein, added more detail: “Has physical attributes and skill level that should create mismatches for his opponents on a fairly regular basis. He’s a high-ceiling prospect with Pro-Bowl ability and should quickly emerge as one of the top players on the team.”
The full chart:
In other words, Burrow’s current number is right below the “perennial all-pro talent” and “the perfect prospect” labels.
This is an inexact thing, of course. But Burrow’s bound to be one of, if not the highest-graded players at the combine.
All of which is to say — yet again — that the Bengals probably have an easy decision on their hands at No. 1.
