Joe Burrow has the perfect answer when asked about the toughest hit he's ever taken
Joe Burrow was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, going to the Cincinnati Bengals after a year in which he led the LSU Tigers to a 15-0 record and also won the Heisman Trophy.
He took some big hits during his time at LSU, but he won’t acknowledge any of them publicly, apparently.
When asked on Wednesday what the toughest hit he’s ever taken was, he said he wasn’t going to give anyone that knowledge that they’d hit him hard enough to stick in his mind:
Joe Burrow, when asked about the toughest hit he's ever taken: "I won't give anybody that satisfaction."

Of course, in the replies to Ben Baby’s tweet, UCF fans and Auburn fans both made their cases:

Burrow will surely take some big hits as a rookie this fall, but now we know he won’t be admitting he felt any of them.
Not Javaris Davis. It’s either the UCF guy or that Clemson LB that tore his rib cartilages.
It was either the UCF hit or the Clemson LB who was on the edge of cheap-shoting the entire gm til he finally got thrown out for targeting Jefferson.
The Aub hit isn’t in the convo. I was in the stadium in Glendale (Phoenix area) AZ when the UCF lineman blindsided him. I thought Joe was seriously injured. The entire stadium of both fans let out a ohhhh! The UCF guy should’ve been tossed but didn’t even get flagged. Since I seen it up close, that’s the one for me. Having said that, JB pealed himself off the turf and roasted UCF. After this gm, LSU fans knew we were going to tear the SEC up going into last yr.
LSU fans knew after you beat UCF…riiight. Nobody thought that because nobody thought joe had it in him to have one of the greatest statistical season ever.
To the team’s credit, there was a insane difference in overall team improvement from 2018 to 2019. We pretty much had the same players in 2018 and 1. OLine couldnt block to save their lives and 2. all the receivers had a significant amount more drops than they did in 2019. Only so much you can do as a QB if your OLine cant protect and your receivers drop passes all the time.
Also, Florida fans think Kyle Trask is the next Joe Burrow and that he’s about to break all his records.
Of course many of us knew. But then we were actually “Looking” for signs of improvement. YOU likely didn’t see cause you wasn’t looking for it. It’s the first gm we used multiple WR sets vs only 1or 2 guys running routes.
When O announced we’d see more of that the following yr and hired Brady, most LSU fans saw improvement coming. When Burrow said the Off was gonna hang 50 on people, LSU fans believed him, while YOU were likely laughing. When I said LSU would score 40 and beat Bama ahead of last yrs gm, YOU was likely in the group of Tide fans too busy laughing to see it. Speaking for myself, I knew our Off was gonna score tons of pts in the SEC.
I’d be lying if I said I saw 15-0! But I did predict a 11-1 yr with a shot at the playoffs. I did think LSU would beat Bama ahead of that gm. Obviously, you saw none of that which is ok. Just don’t be stupid enough to think people see things like you do.
Definitely Skalski at the end of the first half of the National Championship. The other hits, he basically shook off. That one lasted – he still felt it even 20 minutes later.
