The NFL has been blessed with very talented QBs in the league. With players like Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, the future of the NFL is in good hands. Furthermore, one quarterback has routinely surpassed expectations with the way he leads his team: Joe Burrow. Burrow has been a trailblazing leader for Cincinnati Bengals. However, his recent actions have indicated that he might just be a QB that is a better teammate than legends like Brady and Aaron Rodgers.
In the past, Burrow has showcased unreal maturity for someone of his age. And he might just do it again. Very recently, some interesting news of his efforts to help his teammates have gone viral.

While players like Brady, Mahomes, and Rodgers have been known to be good players for their organization, Burrow might have just proved to be better. While he still has a long way to go to reach their level of on-field accolades, he has shown his fortitude in being a good teammate. It recently came to light that Burrow was there for his wide receiver, Tee Higgins, during their negotiations.
Update: #Bengals WR Tee Higgins says he appreciates QB Joe Burrow having his teammates’ back during his contract negotiation.

Furthermore, Higgins made it clear that he, Joe Burrow, and Ja’Marr Chase were planning on being on the same team for a long time. This is very different from the aforementioned great players, who’ve always had fleeting WRs on their teams.
After the news of the support he showed to his teammates went viral, fans took to Twitter to talk about the trio as well as Burrow’s act.
