Joe Burrow Did Not Hesitate When Naming the Best QB in the World

He immediately knew the answer.

During the Bengals' mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, Joe Burrow was asked who he thought the best quarterback in the world is. Sure enough, he didn’t hesitate and named a rival AFC star as the league’s top dog. 

“I don’t think there’s any argument right now,” Burrow said. “It’s Pat [Mahomes] until somebody has a better year than he’s had. He’s the one to knock off.”

Burrow won’t find much of an argument anywhere for that sentiment. Patrick Mahomes is the reigning regular season MVP and Super Bowl MVP after he and the Chiefs defeated the Eagles to earn his second ring.

Cincinnati and Kansas City have gone back and forth during playoff battles over the last several years with the latest duel going to Mahomes in the AFC championship game. The Bengals lost 23–20 and came up just short of back-to-back Super Bowl appearances. Mahomes tallied 326 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
