Tom Brady Calls This Cincinnati Bengals Star The Most Underrated Player in the NFL

Tom Brady has been all praises for the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. He believes that the youngster has that toughness and that commitment to make the Bengals move forward. He has already helped Cincinnati reach the Super Bowl in his second year in the NFL. And clearly, Joey has become a new NFL favorite for many. But Brady believes there is one player in the Bengals roster that lacks the praise that he deserves.

The Cincinnati are on their way to their first Super Bowl after a 33-year drought. Apparently, it is a result of incredible teamwork and exceptional playmaking. Many believe that the Bengals offense is only run by the LSU duo Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. But according to Tom Brady, running back Joe Mixon has been a primary prospect for them too.

Tom Brady on Joe Mixon as the most underrated back

“They got a lot of good skill players,” Brady said talking about the effective offense of the Bengals. “I know they’re very good at receiver. Joe Mixon is one of the most underrated backs in the league.” And by making such a thought-provoking statement, the 44year old has surprised everyone.

Joe Mixon has been rarely appreciated for his contributions, yet he has been an integral part of the Bengals offense. The running back has totaled 1205 yards for 292 picks and 13 touchdowns in 16 games this regular season. Clearly, just like rookie Ja’Marr, Mixon is also a reliable option for Joey.

Although his name hasn’t popped up among the top RBs this season, he has proved to be a reliable back for the Bengals. His role has also been very dominant during the post-season. It has been a phenomenal season for him. However, it all boils down to the Super Bowl.
