    "In the summer entering his final college season, Joe Burrow existed, from the NFL’s vantage point, as an afterthought. The 2020 quarterback class included mega-prospects Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert, two passers who for years had been ticketed as top picks. Burrow was not at their level, or even the level below them, and maybe not even the level below that.

    One evaluator said Burrow entered the season as a likely third- or fourth-round pick, the kind of choice a franchise hopes would yield a stalwart backup. Pro Football Focus’s preseason draft guide included 10 quarterbacks, and Burrow was not among them.

    In one dizzying autumn, Burrow has become the best player in college football, and flipped his professional prospects in a way few, if any, players ever have. While leading LSU to the top of the sport, Burrow has won over the NFL. He has transformed himself into a likely top 10 selection, and a candidate to be the first overall pick — meaning he could be taken ahead of Tagovailoa, the star he outdueled Saturday in Tuscaloosa in a 46-41 Tigers victory."

    Isn't it supposed to be when it fits your narrative its good news and when it doesn't its fake news. I am still a novice at being fascist.
