Cincinnati took the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020Â NFLÂ draft. He excelled in 10 rookie-season games, completing 65.3 percent of his passes for 13 touchdowns, five picks and 6.7 yards per attempt. He also showed off his wheels with 142 yards and three scores.

Unfortunately, Burrow was lost for the season when he suffered a torn left ACL, MCL and partially torn PCL and meniscus after he was sacked during his team’s game against the Washington Football Team on Nov. 22.
Unfortunately, Burrow has now suffered another injury. If serious, Brandon Allen would take over as the starter.
Allen started five games for the Bengals in Burrow’s absence last year, completing 63.4 percent of his passes for five touchdowns and four picks.
