The Cleveland Browns have always loved their Running Backs, and if you are going to find a good one; a great place to look is an SEC power.

Chubb starred at the University of Georgia, and went early in the Second Round of the 2018 Draft to Cleveland. After a decent rookie year where he had 996 Rushing Yards, Chubb entered 2019 as the undisputed lead back. In his first four years, Chubb rushed for over 1,000 Yards, and had a career-high of 1,525 in 2022

Chubb's four-year streak of elite-level rushing came to an end in 2023 when he suffered a knee injury in week 2, and he was out for the rest of the season with a damaged ACL.  He returned to play 10 games for the Browns in 2024, but only had 332 Rushing Yards.  Chubb left the Browns for Houston as a Free Agent, and overall had 7,885 Yards From Scrimmage with 56 TDs.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.

As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Cincinnati Bengals.

Running Back, Joe Mixon went up ten spots to #35.

The lone new entrant is Quarterback, Joe Burrow, who debuts at #48.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

There are two distinct images for us with Joe Burrow in 2020.

The first is the QB leading LSU to a National Championship, which he punctuated with a celebratory stogie.

The second was in his parents’ humble home, where he was drafted #1 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joe Burrow arrived in Southwest Ohio with immediate savior expectations. Over his first six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, Burrow has validated every bit of that hype, establishing himself as a top-tier franchise quarterback whose elite accuracy, icy composure, and deep ball touch have redefined the modern era of Bengals football.

Burrow combines elite pre-snap processing with supreme pocket navigation and rare accuracy downfield. Rather than relying on raw arm velocity, he paralyzes opposing coverages with surgical ball placement, quick-trigger releases, and unflappable toughness when facing a collapsing pocket. His uncanny ability to read defensive leverage allows him to drop touch passes into tight boundary buckets for Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, making him one of the most lethal big-play passers in the NFL.

Burrow showed instant star potential during his 2020 rookie campaign, throwing for 2,688 yards and 13 touchdowns across 10 games before a severe torn ACL and PCL cut his debut short. He answered in 2021 with an unforgettable comeback, winning AP Comeback Player of the Year honors while leading the NFL with a 70.4% completion percentage alongside 4,611 passing yards and 34 touchdowns. His cold-blooded playmaking carried Cincinnati through a legendary postseason run to Super Bowl LVI.

He sustained that superstar trajectory in 2022, earning his first Pro Bowl selection after racking up 4,475 passing yards and 35 touchdowns while leading the Bengals back to the AFC Championship Game. A wrist injury restricted him to just 10 starts in 2023, but he returned with a vengeance in 2024 to deliver a career-best individual campaign. Burrow led the NFL in both passing yards (4,918) and passing touchdowns (43) with only nine interceptions, earning his second Pro Bowl selection and a fourth-place finish in MVP voting while keeping Cincinnati competitive despite team-wide defensive struggles.

Burrow's 2025 season presented another test of resilience when a midseason toe injury sidelined him for nine games. Upon returning in late November, he started the final six contests and ended the year with 1,809 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions across eight total starts. During that stretch, Burrow reached his 75th career game, becoming the third-fastest quarterback in NFL history to hit 150 career touchdown passes and the fifth-fastest to reach 20,000 passing yards.

As the Bengals prepare for the 2026 season, a fully healthy Burrow stands ready for his seventh NFL campaign. Entering his prime with a career completion percentage that ranks among the highest in league history, Burrow remains the ultimate catalyst capable of bringing Cincinnati its first Super Bowl trophy.
