Joe Burrow Career
Joseph Lee Burrow (born December 10, 1996) is an American football quarterback for the National Football League’s Cincinnati Bengals (NFL). Burrow transferred from Ohio State to LSU, where he won the Heisman Trophy and the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship as a senior. The Bengals selected him first overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Burrow spent the next two years as a backup to J. T. Barrett after redshirting his first year at Ohio State in 2015. He appeared in 10 games over two years, completing 29 of 39 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns. Burrow transferred to Louisiana State University (LSU) on May 20, 2018, after learning that Dwayne Haskins would be named the starting quarterback at Ohio State. Burrow had graduated from Ohio State in three years with a degree in consumer and family financial services and would be eligible for graduate transfer immediately.
Burrow was named the starting quarterback as a redshirt junior in his first year at LSU. Burrow threw for 249 yards and a touchdown in a 22-21 win over then-No. 7 Auburn on the road early in the season. Following the win, he was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week. He was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week again two weeks later after a 292-yard, three-touchdown performance against Ole Miss. Burrow helped the Tigers to a 10-3 record, including a Fiesta Bowl victory over UCF, and a No. 6 ranking in the final AP Poll. Burrow had 2,894 yards passing, 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions on the season. He also had 399 yards rushing and seven touchdowns.
Burrow was named LSU’s starting quarterback once more as he enters his redshirt senior season in 2019. Burrow threw for 278 yards and five touchdowns in the Tigers’ season opener against Georgia Southern, leading the team to a 55-3 victory. He was later named SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week (with Tua Tagovailoa). Burrow threw for 471 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception in a 45-38 win over ninth-ranked Texas in week two. His 471 yards were the second-most in school history, surpassing Rohan Davey’s 528 yards against Alabama in 2001. Following his performance, he was named Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week and SEC Offensive Player of the Week. Burrow was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week for the third time on September 21st, during LSU’s game against Vanderbilt. In the Tigers’ 66-38 victory, he threw for 398 yards and a school-record six passing touchdowns. [27] He became the first LSU quarterback to throw for 350 yards or more in three straight games.
