Fuller's 2020 NFL Draft Big Board 3.0: Awards, Accolades, and All-Americans
Joe Burrow' 2019 is almost certainly better than yours.
After transferring to start at LSU, he's led the Tigers to the College Football Playoffs, while also adding the Heisman, Maxwell, Walter Camp, Davey O'Brien, and Johnny Unitas Awards over the past few weeks. With Cincinnati essentially guaranteed the #1 overall pick, there's an extremely good chance Burrow is the Bengals' new starting Quarterback in 2020. Still, the draft is roughly five months away and a LOT can happen in the NFL between now and then. For the rest of 2019 though, Joe Burrow is the man to beat - despite Chase Young earning one of the best defensive scores I've given out in years. How does the rest of the potential 2020 NFL Draft class measure up?
