Tom Brady Draws Comparisons Between Him and Bengals QB Joe Burrow: ‘I Think Joey’s Got Some Tools That I Didn’t Quite Have When I Was His Age’

Joe Burrow has become a sporting sensation after helping the Cincinnati Bengals clinch their first Super Bowl spot after a very long time. However, what has really caught the attention of the NFL community is his dedication to the sport and an uncanny resemblance to the GOAT Tom Brady.

The leadership and the confidence of the Bengals quarterback, cannot be denied. He was drafted as the first overall pick to the lowly Bengals after winning the Heisman Trophy with LSU. Although his debut season turned out to be a flop after sustaining a season-ending ACL injury mid-season, he did come up strong this season.

The NFL pointed out how the youngster is fairly similar to the Tampa Bay quarterback, especially after the AFC Championship Game. One of the most undeniable similarities between the two beasts is that they both reached the Super Bowl in their second year as a starter in the NFL.
