Peyton Manning Playing Mentor to Joe Burrow

The former #1 overall pick is lending his advice to Burrow on how to cope with the pressure of being selected first.

Petyton Manning went on ESPN's Sportscenter on Sunday and said Burrow "...called me about some of the things that I tried to do as a rookie that maybe he can apply to his NFL career. Looks like it's going to be with the Cincinnati Bengals. Look what I told him, I said, 'Joe if you're the first pick in the NFL draft you are going to a team that has really earned the first pick in the NFL draft. There are going to be some holes there. And there's a reason the Colts were picking No. 1 that year. There's a reason the Bengals are picking No. 1 this year. The Giants when they had Eli.'"
