Joe Burrow Reflects on ‘Difficult Times’ at Ohio State
As his team prepares for the AFC championship on Sunday, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow reflected on a time in his life that he said defined him. Before he was a Heisman-winning quarterback at LSU and starring for the Cincinnati Bengals, he was a backup at Ohio State.
“Yeah, I wouldn't be the same player that I am today without those trials and tribulations that I went through there,” Burrow said, per 247Sports. "I loved my time there, I stay in contact with a lot of people from Ohio State and, like I said, I wouldn't be the same player. I think I am who I am because of the difficult times that I went through in my career.”
