Joe Burrow’s legendary college story began with the most humble of beginnings as a backup quarterback for a major program.
After being redshirted for his true freshman year at Ohio State, he became the second-string quarterback behind J.T. Barrett and watched the team redshirt their newest quarterback recruit, Dwayne Haskins.
Burrow and Haskins would eventually be pitted against each other in a competition to be Barrett’s successor. Haskins recently talked about his battle versus Burrow on FOX’s Monday’s Ring Chronicles series, per 247Sports.
“I love Joe but during that battle, for almost two years, me and Joe couldn’t stand each other,” Haskins said.
