Athens HS alum and Heisman Trophy winner. Way to represent Ohio and especially an area of the state that is too often forgotten.

GO BENGALS!?

 

[Yappi]

Glad to see this. He was one of the best quarterbacks I have seen from Ohio. Hope to be watching him play on Sundays next.

 

[falguin]

Amazing that Meyer played a fullback over him.

 

[JoeCool]

Pure class Joe! Congrats big man!

 

[Irish60]

By far the best high school QB I have personally seen. This was a well deserved award to a heckuva player. The word is he will be playing for the Bengals next year, so his Ohio legend can continue to grow. Good luck to you, Joe. And congratulations.

 

[tom 48]

Don't assume the Bengals will draft him. I make the same mistake with the Browns every year, assuming that they will take the right player.

Amazing that Meyer played a fullback over him.

Haskins 50 TD/8 int...Fields 40 TD/1 int...combined 90 TD/9 int in 2018 and 2019
Burrow 64 TD/11 int combined in 2018 and 2019

I don't think OSU fared too badly at QB the last two seasons without Burrow.

That said, I'm very happy for Burrow winning the Heisman! Very much deserving.

Well that FB only wnet on to set the TD records so......

I remember years ago on the puddle when he signed with OSU and most thought he would never play for the bucks

 

[Scipio]

Class kid and I wish him the best except against OSU. I think it would be cool if he was drafted by the Bengals so he could come back home and his family would be able to see him play more easily.

High praise from former SVSM coach who had 2 Mr. Ohio Football recipients under his tutelage.

Worst thing that could happen to Joe Burrow and vice - versa is for the Bengals to draft Burrow. Bengals need o - lineman and receiver's before a QB.

Agreed. They'd be insane not to trade down for a bunch of picks.

LOL ?

If the Bengals draft Burrows next season will be a difficult one for him. They need help in a lot of areas. Maybe by his 3rd season they can be competitive if they do things the right way.

Draft Burrow, suck with Dalton. Get linemen through the draft. Then play Burrow.

 

[Reddengineer]

Happy to see it.

How many QB's have the Browns drafted and how has that worked. Build your team like the 49ers did and it doesn't matter who the QB is.

so cool for Joe and Athens!

This. A Heisman QB isn't going to even put a dent in the Bengals' issues.

More likely to ruin the Heisman QB instead.

 

[Thavoice]

This was the first time I ever watched the Heisman presentation so I cannot compare past speeches to his, but for him to give shoutouts on more than one occasion, and going over to Coach Day was a very class act. He has had a great, great season.

Congrats to Joe and the Athens program from Toledo Central Catholic.

Happened to be in Athens on 12/7 and 12/8 for a baseball event. The place is bonkers for Joe and rightfully so. They can use the good vibes/karma. Congrats to him and all of his coaches in Ohio and Louisiana.

Route 32 would be burning up if that happened.

That's pretty freaking cool. What a class act. SO glad it has turned out so well for him. And his speech brought tears to everyone's eyes. I thought Coach O was going to lose it a couple of times. I think Joe's mom saved him. What a great scene.
