Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has many fans.
But tops among them? Perhaps a three-time Super Bowl winner and former Super Bowl MVP by the name of Troy Aikman.
Appearing on 105.3 The FAN this week, Aikman had some major praise for Burrow.
“He, without question, is my favorite quarterback in the NFL, maybe my favorite player of all time for that matter,” Aikman said, according to The Athletic’s Jon Machota. “I just love everything about him, especially in today’s NFL where you just don’t see these types of players. He’s an old school quarterback. He could’ve played in the ’90s…I don’t know if he’s the best quarterback in the game today, obviously you’ve got Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, but (Burrow) throws with anticipation better than anybody currently playing the game.”
The actual debate about the top five quarterbacks in the game right now varies, especially with how versatile the top names are and how much the game keeps evolving in interesting ways.
But the praise about Burrow is notable, to say the least — and now he’s got one of the best ever in his corner.
