While many QBs would have folded under pressure and demoralized after such a close loss, Burrow is looking to only take the positives. He concedes while stating, “I was disappointed with my performance overall. I thought I could have played better to give us a chance. But you know you live and you learn.” It was again a display of maturity from the former LSU QB, who advises his teammates to remain upbeat after their loss.
The mindset to change the negatives into positives is an important quality every elite athlete possesses. Burrow embodies that spirited mindset and wants them to use it as motivation for the upcoming season.
