Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is arguably one of the best players in the National Football League at the moment and is destined for greatness in the future. The 26-year-old, however, will have to call time on his career one day in the future, and it seems that he’s already found his profession after retiring.
According to Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, the quarterback has almost become a coach to his younger teammates and is crystal clear about what he wants from them. Burrow, who was the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, has done exceptionally well to adapt to head coach Zac Taylor and offensive coordinator Callahan’s tactics over the past three years.
Such is Burrow’s level of familiarity with the system at the Bengals that he is able to talk with the tight ends and wide receivers of the squad about the plays they are supposed to carry out on the gridiron.

“It’s fun for me this year with Burrow it’s been, we get to these meetings and we watch 7-on-7 together,” Callahan said on Burrow’s leadership qualities, via Russ Heltman of SI.com. “Joe almost coaches those guys — he’s very clear on what he expects from certain routes, where he wants guys to be the timing that it happens. It’s really fun to listen to him explain to everybody what he wants. So when he’s making a coaching point to Irv Smith. At some point, all the tight ends are supposed to hear that.
“When he’s talking to Ja’Marr [Chase] about something all those young receivers are gonna hear it. And so, that part’s really fun because he’s got mastery over our system now, which is a really cool thing to watch him grow in that and be able to almost become more like a coach.”
On the gridiron, Joe Burrow’s mastery over the Cincinnati Bengals offensive system is quite easily visible, and he has produced stunning results for the franchise in the past three years. Burrow led the Bengals to their first Super Bowl in 33 years in 2022 and has already delivered the AFC Championship title.
The Bengals have already held talks with their star quarterback over a contract extension, and it could see him become the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, overcoming the likes of Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts both of whom received humongous contract deals this offseason.
