Despite having 12 interceptions on the year, Joe Burrow is still a highly efficient and productive quarterback.
In fact, the second year QB is already one of the very best in the league according to a number of metrics.
Some categories where Joe Burrow leads the NFL:
— Blake Jewell (@BlakeJewellNFL) December 2, 2021
Most pass TD of 20+ air yards in NFL (7)
Highest passing grade from clean pocket (92.8)
Highest graded QB in AFC (86.2)
Highest graded QB against blitz (93.9)
Most pass TD of 20+ yards (12)
After a rookie year in which Burrow struggled throwing the ball deep, now, with the addition of Ja’Marr Chase, he has the most touchdown passes that travel 20 or more yards through the air and the most touchdown passes of 20 or more yards (regardless of yards through the air).
