Count Cincinnati Bengals legend Ken Anderson among those who want to see Joe Burrow suit up for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Boomer Esiason has already thrown his weight into this one by sending a potent message to the organization about Burrow.
Anderson is the latest, noting Burrow should be the pick and pointing out he couldn’t find a flaw despite the LSU quarterback only having one breakout season.
“He had an amazing season,” Anderson said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “I haven’t watched every game like the coaching staff has done. My first thing is you’re always skeptical of a guy that’s basically done it for one year, but every game I saw he never had an off game. He was extremely accurate. He made big plays. On the run. High back-shoulder throws. You saw the guy make NFL throws.”
High praise from a guy who should probably be in the Hall of Fame.
Anderson’s points echo what many experts have said by now — Burrow might not have the strongest arm, but gameflow and scheme work around it. And while he only had the one big year, part of it was just getting healthy and getting a chance, not to mention the right coaching fit.
That’s two legendary Bengals quarterbacks in favor of Burrow now.
