Burrow

•

Burrow’s 652 passing attempts were the most for a quarterback last season and tied for the 20th-most in league history. This helped him to the most completions, passing yards and passing touchdowns on the season.

•

Burrow has an advantage over all other great passers thanks to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The other top passers by PFF passing grade over the last three seasons are Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes. The only wide receiver on any of those four teams with a receiving grade above that of Higgins over the last three years is Rashee Rice with the Kansas City Chiefs, and he is returning from a season-ending injury.

•

In 2022, when the Bengals needed one yard to go for a first down or touchdown, Burrow ran 37% of the time. That dropped to 18.7% in 2023 and 14.3% in 2024. Now that Burrow is two years removed from his last leg injury, there is a chance the Bengals will trust Burrow to run a little more often, which could lead to more rushing touchdowns.
