Joe Burrow
From the Set Modern Legends of the Turf
There is a lot of pressure that comes with being the first overall pick in the NFL draft, especially as a quarterback. When the Cincinnati Bengals selected Joe Burrow with the No.1 pick in the 2020 draft, they expected him to make an immediate impact. He has delivered, and then some, as the Heisman Trophy and national championship winner at LSU has infused the Bengals with a winning culture that had been sorely lacking. In 2021, "Joe Cool" led the Bengals to an appearance in Super Bowl LVI. They did not win, but Burrow served notice that the Bengals are likely to be a force in the AFC for the foreseeable future. Each title in the Modern Legends of the Turf series engages young readers with fun and interesting special elements and bold, easy-to-understand graphics. Players' careers are detailed from beginning to end in an informative and entertaining narrative that readers will enjoy.
