Burrow is probably not in the top 10 athletes.
He is a great QB.

Is the list about how good an athlete was in their respective sport? If so, he’s number 1.

If the list is just in terms of raw athleticism, well then we need to tweak everyone’s because it should be mostly Track&Field athletes

Patrick Peterson and Kevin Faulk are not "raw athleticism".
Both are better athletes than Joe Burrow.

That's the way I look at it, relative to their position. Add the fact that Burrow was so great at evading the rush and making plays on the run and running for first downs, that makes him an exceptional athlete at his position.

In my opinion, he proved himself to be a superior two-sport athlete at LSU

Starting QB and first-round pick in baseball. He has the creds.

And Josh Booty was all SEC, played in NFL and was No 1 pick in MLB.
You don’t list him.
Apply your own criteria.

I believe Mike Miley was on his way to being a mainstay of the Los Angeles Angels when he died. Josh Booty had 26 MLB at-bats.

Yes, of course.
And he didn’t measure up in football, why?

Mike Miley took LSU to the Orange Bowl in a day and age when only a few teams received bowl bids.

The guy was amazing and got the nickname Miracle Mike for a reason.

It's not a knock on Booty to view Mike Miley as a superior athlete.
