Joe Burrow’s arrival turned the Cincinnati Bengals franchise around.
Ever since he made it to the league, he’s turned a lot of heads for his stellar play, and he just keeps getting better.
We already know that rival DBs don’t want to play him because of the spectacular plays he can make.
However, it seems like he challenges even his own DBs, as Nick Scott recently said on FanDuel TV’s “Up & Adams” with Kay Adams.
Joe Burrow is a challenge not only to opponents in games but especially to his defensive teammates like @nickmscotty 😮💨

Scott opened up on how much Burrow likes to push them because he’s the kind of player who believes he can make any throw — and he can actually make it.
Burrow is one of the most efficient and accurate passers in the game, and even though he doesn’t strike you as the fastest or most athletic guy out there, he has a great ability to extend plays when the pocket collapses and hit his receivers in stride.
Scott admits that he has yet to pick him off in practice, but that’s fine as long as he gets his interceptions against other quarterbacks when it actually counts.
Even so, it’s kind of remarkable to see that not even a guy who gets to go against him every single day in practice has been able to intercept one of his passes just yet.
The Bengals simply cannot afford to be without Burrow for an extended period of time.
They need to bring him back slowly and carefully to prevent another injury, even if that means not having him out there for the season opener.
