Ever notice that its rare for an over hyped college QB to succeed at the next level?
Burrow is a rare example. Peyton Manning too. Guys like Josh Allen, Mahomes, Russel Wilson, Arron Rodgers, Brady fly under the radar and are ready to prove their merit in the Pros. I do not recall and pics of them smoking a cigar in the locker room like the legend Red Auerbach.
I have my doubts about Trevor Lawrence too.
All you have to do is take a look at the list of Quarterbacks who’ve won the Heisman. I’ll start at 1990.
1990: Ty Detmer
1992: Gino Torretta
1993: Charlie Ward
1996: Danny Wuerffel
2000: Chris Weinke
2001: Eric Couch
2002: Carson Palmer
2003: Jason White
2004: Matt Leinart
2006: Troy Smith
2007: Tim Tebow
2008: Sam Bradford
2010: Cam Newton
2011: RGIII
2012: Johnny Manziel
2013: Jameis Winston
2014: Marcus Mariota
2016: Lamar Jackson
2017: Baker Mayfield
2018: Kyler Murray
2019: Joe Burrow
Look at that collection of disappointments and disastrous busts. If you win the Heisman as a QB it’s a kiss of death for being a professional QB.
