Quarterback gives insight into Burrow the man.
In this 3-part series, we will talk about Netflix’s Quarterback. What did we learn about the man, the myth, the legend Joe Burrow?
Burrow loves playing football, but he doesn’t like how it puts him in the public eye. His business is out there for all of us to see. Unlike my job and your job, millions of people are watching every time he makes a mistake.
He doesn’t like his private life being out there, but in this documentary, it was. We saw a lot of who he is as a competitor on the field and as just a regular guy.
He gets razzed by his friends for wearing “chainmail leather.”
He bleaches his hair like he’s playing rhythm guitar for Nirvana.
When he pops a griddy, he asks his friends how it looked.
And every Monday night, he gets on the sticks with his boys from Athens.
Then there is the other Joe Burrow, the competitor.
This is the guy who hates how it feels to lose and is willing to do whatever it takes not to feel that way. He is addicted to winning.
He thinks conservatively at the beginning of the year, but he gets aggressive when he faces a top offense or top quarterback.
He hates mistakes. He hates mental breakdowns. He doesn’t think screaming and yelling is the answer to those problems.
He loves short weeks because they mean less installation and more execution.
From family brunch with the Chases to Batmobile buyer’s remorse, we talk about it all.
