The Bengals had a spectacular campaign last season under the leadership of Joe Burrow at the center. Although he couldn’t get through the AFC championship game, the quarterback seems to have cemented his position for quite a long time. With so many groundbreaking deals on the line, Burrow has raised the bar high. His followers have already begun drawing comparisons with his peers like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson, and Kyler Murray.
