6. Every position on a football team matters, of course...

... but this Bengals team wouldn't be much of a threat at all without Burrow.

And the draft of his former LSU receiver, Chase, appears to be a wise choice now. He currently holds the all-time NFL record for receiving yards among rookies in their first seven games.

I think other teams would be smart to not blitz against Burrow too much. He recognizes it, audibles, and then quickly passes. What makes him special is his head, not so much physical prowess. But he's a gifted passer too, of course.

Fake blitzes and dropping back into pass coverage might be the best tactic of opposing defenses for now. Burrow still throws a few interceptions from inexperience in the NFL.
