As is almost always the case when teams are drafting a player with the first-overall pick, the Cincinnati Bengals saw quarterback Joe Burrow as a fortune-changer when they selected him last year. Not much has changed yet—they only won four games, including two out of the six games they played without him—but that can hardly be expected, given how far they’ve had to go.
Which is about as far, if not further, than Burrow has had to go in his rehab, after he suffered a significant knee injury in the 10th game of his rookie season, including a torn ACL.
