Burrow’s return to the field has been well documented.

After his rookie year was cut short by a devastating knee injury, the Bengals QB came back better than ever for the 2021-22 season.

His clutch plays and “Joe Cool” mentality helped lead the Bengals to the AFC Championship and a trip to Super Bowl LVI.

Burrow was voted the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year award just days before the Super Bowl.
