2024 Pre-Season Rank #109, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #126. Peak Period: 2020-24
In 2019, Joe Burrow won the Heisman Trophy and took LSU to the National Championship. There was no doubt that he would go number one overall, and the Cincinnati Bengals have been blessed to have him.
After his rookie year, Burrow has arguably been a top-five NFL pivot, and as a sophomore, he brought the Bengals closer than they had ever been to capturing the Lombardi Trophy. Last season, he was electric on a Cincinnati squad that had depth and defensive issues, and he led the NFL in Passing Yards (4,918) and Touchdowns (43) with only 9 Interceptions. He was awarded the Comeback Player of the Year, and was fourth in MVP voting despite a 9-8 record.
The Bengals are one of the most intriguing teams entering 2025, but they will contend as long as Burrow is healthy. If he is, expect another significant jump in this rank next year.
