How Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is even better after his ACL injury

When former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow was a draft prospect in 2020, one of the biggest concerns that teams had was whether not he had a strong enough arm to excel in the NFL.

It was never clear why Burrow’s arm was such a concern.

He also has plenty of “zip” on his throws — even after his ACL injury that ended his rookie season early.

Wide receiver Tee Higgins, a former Clemson standout, is entering his second season with the Bengals, so he’s familiar with Burrow and his arm strength.
