J.J. McCarthy wants to use his legs like Joe Burrow at LSU

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is one heck of a pro and narrowly lost the Super Bowl in February. Burrow wore a big knee brace last season after recovering from a torn ACL in 2020. Burrow’s just starting to use his legs again to get outside of the pocket to extend plays. However, it wasn’t long ago that Burrow’s mobility was an asset.
