NFL players rank Joe Burrow as a top-5 quarterback

Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow round out the top three.

It comes as no surprise that Cincinnati Bengals fans believe Joe Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League.

Burrow has dealt with season-ending injuries so far in his career, but when he has stayed healthy, he’s taken care of business.

As the new season approached, ESPN asked over 100 NFL players to rank quarterbacks in specific lists, and Burrow’s name popped up a few times.

Some rankings include:

• The top three current quarterbacks
• Rookie QB who will have the most successful career
• Most overrated quarterback
• Most underrated quarterback
• Biggest trash-talking QB

NFL players cast their votes for the top three current quarterbacks and the results are clear... Three names are the clear-cut favorites going into the new season:

1. Mahomes: (291)

2. Jackson: (124)

3. Burrow: (51)

Josh Allen and Aaron Rodgers also received votes.

I do believe Joe Burrow is a better quarterback than Lamar Jackson, but Burrow simply needs to stay healthy. He has made that a clear point of emphasis this season, changing his diet and gaining more weight and muscle.
