The Bengals QB was playing peewee football early on and his eyes set on positions that make holding the football possible. While talking about his baby steps in football, he states, “I wanted to be a running back or a receiver, I don’t know why. I guess I thought in peewee football we weren’t gonna throw the ball very much, so I wanted to have the ball in my hand. Obviously, I’m glad it worked out the way that it did.

Burrow has also had a change of perspective about his position over the years. He believes that many great players play in different positions in the NFL. But Burrow sees the QB position to be very important and one that has a drastic impact on the outcome of NFL games every week. He now believes that having the ball as a QB is better than his early days’ conclusions about the position.

He enjoys the responsibility that comes with it and the impact it has on the outcomes of games. Burrow will have the ball in his hands on Monday during the Super Bowl to work his magic. Every Bengals fan will be rooting for the underdog QB and their underdog team. The best QBs shine under the brightest of lights, and Burrow can become such a QB in the NFL.
