Longtime NFL Scout Says One Trait Of Joe Burrow Reminds Him Of Tom Brady

“Burrow profiles as a strong prospect with all the traits you look for in an NFL QB with the exception of higher level arm strength,” Cosell writes. “He plays with poise and composure and a relaxed calmness that reminded me of Tom Brady. Burrow showed the attributes to be consistently effective working from the pocket as a both a timing and rhythm thrower and as a late-in-the-down passer. Burrow was consistently precise with his ball placement on all the different throws and was aggressive with a turn-it-loose mentality when big play opportunities were presented, especially outside the numbers. What also stood out was his ability to make second reaction plays outside of structure both throwing and running when needed.

“Burrow consistently exhibited the needed traits to play consistently and effectively in the NFL: poise, vision, clarity, timing, pocket efficiency, precise ball placement (and) second reaction ability. Burrow is a high-level prospect with a chance to be an outstanding NFL QB, especially in a league now driven by timing and rhythm passing games and quicker 3 and 5 step drop concepts.”
