Joe Burrow has had a crazier, more unbelievable last three years than the vast majority of people on the planet, and that says a lot. In a span of just under 800 days, the 25-year-old quarterback won the Heisman Trophy and the College Football Playoff National Championship, was drafted No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft, tore his ACL and MCL, completed rehab and won the AFC Championship.
Insane.
Burrow, who spent his formative years in Athens, Ohio, began his career at Ohio State and never got a chance. As a result, he took a leap of faith and dove head-first in to Louisiana.
The rest is history.
Throughout the process, Burrow has accrued a few different nicknames— Jackpot Joe, Joey Franchise, Joe Cool, Smokin’ Joe and Joe Shiesty. The most fitting in this moment, however, is Joe Brrrr. He is cold as ice.
After showing up to the AFC Championship with the drip, he led his team back from an 18-point deficit to reach the Super Bowl and provided an all-time savage quote about his chain. If anyone else had said it, there may have been a cringe factor to it, but because it’s just Joe Burrow from Ohio, it’s amazing.
Since his arrival in Baton Rouge, Burrow’s stock has risen infinitely both on and off of the field. His street cred has skyrocketed and it reached its pinnacle (thus far) on Sunday.
After taking down the Chiefs, Burrow stood on stage next to Ickey Woods and hit the cleanest Griddy to celebrate. The Bengals posted a video of the dance in 4k and it is straight flames.

How can anyone (outside of Pittsburgh and Kansas City) root against Joe Brrrr? You can’t.
