Lead

• lead looks good.

Early years

• "The elder Burrow, whose last coaching position was defensive coordinator for the Ohio Bobcats for more than a decade, retired after the 2018 season in part to be able to see all of Joe's games in his final college season.": personally, this sentence might a little bit out of scope. (3b)
• "One day while visiting the office": unclear what "the office" is referring to. (1a)
• "the seven year old had a future": might be better to say "the seven year old Burrow had a future" (1a)
• "Jimmy Burrow": try to keep it consistent. either Jim Burrow or Jimmy Burrow, but not both. (1a)
  • Done. Lucky7jrk (talk) 15:16, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

College career

• looks good

Professional career

• "Burrow was one of 58 players invited to the draft, which was held virtually due to social distancing regulations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was selected first overall by the Cincinnati Bengals." The "which was held virtually...pandemic" part isn't necessary in my opinion. And I would specify which draft. (1a/3b)
• "He became the first rookie n NFL history": fix minor typo (1a)
• Statistics table: instead of making "Career" an external link, just cite it in the same style as the College statistics table. In other words, make it a proper citation. (2b)
  • Done. Lucky7jrk (talk) 15:20, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Joe played in 17 games in 2021, not 16. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthchri (talk • contribs) 16:55, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
