Overall, there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic about Burrow having a strong statistical year as a rookie. He was a redshirt senior last year and all he did was study football at the LSU team facility. This led to him having statistically the greatest single-season out of a college quarterback ever with 5,700 passing yards, 60 passing touchdowns and a national title to boot.
