Joe Burrow Makes Revealing Admission About Being a Quarterback Ahead of Super Bowl: ‘I Thought In Peewee Football We Weren’t Gonna Throw the Football That Much’

Cincinnati Bengals fans will be feeling fortunate to have QB Joe Burrow on their roster following recent revelations. The Super Bowl Bound 2nd year QB is a mainstay and a talisman for the Bengals’ run to the headline event. But there was a time when Burrow disliked playing the role of passer quite early in his young career.

The Bengals QB was playing peewee football early on and his eyes set on positions that make holding the football possible. While talking about his baby steps in football, he states, “I wanted to be a running back or a receiver, I don’t know why. I guess I thought in peewee football we weren’t gonna throw the ball very much, so I wanted to have the ball in my hand. Obviously, I’m glad it worked out the way that it did.”
