Hartselle Tigers (15-0) 5-A State Champ
However Burrow managed to make that quantum leap, I like the fact that his father is a former professional player and long time football coach. Good background to thoroughly learn the game.
Here's the difference between Burrow last year and Burrow this year, besides the passing concepts changing under Joe Brady... there's nothing mechanically that he does different. There is no trait that's suddenly there that wasn't there before...
Last year, Burrow faced 4 defenses that finished the season ranked top 25 in total defense, and 8 that ranked in the top 40. Including two that ranked in the top 5 (Miami, Miss. St.)
This year, Burrow has yet to face a defense that currently ranks in the top 25 in total defense, and only 2 that rank in the top 40. The best he's seen so far is Florida's 26th ranked defense, and that was mostly without their only two pass rushers.
There's your jump in metrics.
