Colin Cowherd not sold on Joe Burrow: He 'is not a great prospect, he's a great story'
When the 2020 NFL Draft begins in April, LSU QB Joe Burrow is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick, going to the Cincinnati Bengals.
After throwing for 60 touchdowns in 2019 while leading LSU to a national championship, he has been consistently mentioned as a top pick.
However, FOX Sports host Colin Cowherd isn’t sold. He says Burrow is a good prospect, but he doesn’t see anything special:
"Joe Burrow is not a great prospect. He's a great story… It is remarkable to me when we dismiss stuff that matters. Arm, maturity, wonderlic, hand size. It all matters." — @ColinCowherd pic.twitter.com/FN3zcqiLi8

“We know that Joe Burrow’s a decent athlete, not special,” Cowherd says. “He now has small hands and we know he’s got an average arm, not great. … Let’s be honest about it. Joe Burrow is a good prospect. He’s not a great prospect. He is a great story, and the media loves stories. …
“It is remarkable to me when we dismiss stuff that matters. It all matters. Arm, maturity, Wonderlic, hand size. It’s all… college productivity, coachability. It’s all something. It all matters.”
He also added that he doesn’t like that Burrow joked about his small hand measurement, calling it “cocky.”
Cowturd has a controversial take on Burrow. I’m shocked.
He’s such a blowhard
Agreed!
The fox version of Stephen A.Smith…a loud mouth jerk who somehow is convinced his opinion matters…
Agreed!
At least Smith occasionally says something relevant. Cowherd whole career is based on hot-takes and pot-stirring. He’s the Don Imus of the sports radio world.
Cowturd is just mad because he went against LSU practically all year and lost every time like the loser he is!!! POS lol
Like his opinion matters. How can anyone credible be down on a guy that led his team to a NC while playing against outstanding competition and setting records while running a pro style offense. What’s not to like?
His opinion doesn’t matter but NFL Gms look at everything.Because they are trying to decide whether to invest millions of dollars in the guy for several years.
Because you know the NFL GMs are desperately waiting for every word that Colin says…their draft decisions depend on it. Greatest mind in sports, no doubt. Absolute betting guru. Amazing talent analyst & predictor.
How?……..What??….aww, forget it
Ditto that !!!!
“We know that Colin Cowherd has a decent sports talk show, not special,” Joe Burrow says. “He now has a big mouth and we know he has average rhetoric & insight, not great. Let’s be honest about it… Colin Cowherd is a good journalist. He is not a great journalist. He is an opinionated a$$hole, and viewers tolerate opinionated a$$holes…”
The PFF gut straight up told Colon he was wrong.Burrow has the highest grade ever for a QB. Colon is a douchebag. That dude flips his opinion to try and be right all time. He said Alabama and Clemson would kill LSU. Dud knows nothing about college football.
Colon CowHype (=bull$h1t)
Cowherd and his sorry ilk survive by trying to create drama by taking positions like this. Sadly, they get too much attention and continue to be on the air. If he was to say something reasonable, no one would notice (or care).
You’re right about the media trying to create drama, just look at all the hype around Burrow “not wanting to play” for the Bengals. But this time, I’m not even sure Cowherd is necessarily trying to say something controversial – I think he may actually be that ignorant and actually believes what he’s saying.
Type “cowherd burrow transfer” and watch the clip. Sad.
