- Joe Burrow is the darling of the football world these days.
- During a recent episode of his podcast, Richard Sherman says he’d take Burrow over the rest of the NFL’s QBs for the next ten years.
- Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, February 13.
After just two seasons in the National Football League, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has ascended to the elite tier of the position as he has managed to lead the Bengals to their first Super Bowl since 1989.
As a result of both his talent and his swagger, Burrow has become one of the faces of the league and is now in the conversation of being *the* best quarterback in the league in the coming years. In fact, as far as cornerback Richard Sherman is concerned, Burrow has already reached the mountaintop as he says he’d take Burrow over the rest of the league’s signal-callers for the next decade.
“If I could have any quarterback for the next ten years,” Sherman said on his podcast, “I’m giving the nod to Joe Burrow.”
Following their victory over the two-time defending AFC champion Chiefs, Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will take on Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in California on Sunday, February 13.
At the time of this writing, the Los Angeles Rams have opened as four-point favorites over the Bengals, who have been underdogs in their last two games. Given how much the general public seems to be rooting for Burrow and the Bengals, though, I imagine that line will shrink in the coming days and weeks as more bettors place wagers on Cincinnati.
