Here is that part of the article for more context.

"Because I'm a sociologist that studies crime, after the game I told his parents that Joe had the kind of qualities that you find in cops and first responders -- and also serial offenders," Vander Ven said. "The point I was making was he had the kind of qualities those people have, where his pulse probably doesn't change no matter the situation he finds himself in. He could be mowing the lawn or pulling people from a fire and his pulse would probably stay about the same."

Underrated reply.

Pretty silly comparison.

Serial is not cereal.

It's actually spot on. First responders, trauma/ER doctors, and serial criminals all become desensitized to the situations. Same goes for top notch athletes. Most just call it sports amnesia, "icewater in their veins", "cool as a cucumber", etc.

He is Super Cereal.

It’s deeper than that. There is an innate detachment of emotion in people that last in those careers. Many people try to do those jobs and wash out pretty quickly because they don’t have the mental make up required. Obviously, serial offenders become so because they are emotionally detached and lack empathy during the act or remorse after.

It takes that same innate emotional detachment to perform under pressure. Yes, that ability can be cultivated, but only among those that are wired for it. Those that aren’t, fold under pressure and won’t continue to put themselves in those situations. It’s rare, but there are a very few that not only can perform under pressure as well as, or nearly as well as they do under no pressure, but actually are their very best when under the most pressure. Burrow may be one of those few.
