No. 1 選ぶ Joe Burrow happy to be on field for Bengals
After waiting a few extra months to get on the practice field for the Cincinnati Bengals for the first time, No. 1 全体にわたる 選ぶ Joe Burrow had a little extra energy.
"Everyone´s 最高の anxious to have pads on and start getting some live reps," Burrow said Friday. "We had our first walkthrough today. Everyone was 解雇する／砲火／射撃d up for that I think I was thrown in a little harder than I should have been in a walkthrough, but it felt good to be out there."
The Bengals are also happy to have Burrow, hoping their search for the franchise quarterback who can end the NFL´s longest active 干ばつ without a プレーオフ 勝利，勝つ is 完全にする.
It´s a tall 仕事 for the Heisman トロフィー 勝利者 who grew up a few hours away in Athens, Ohio. The Bengals last won a プレーオフ game に引き続いて the 1990 season.
Since then, they have lost the third most 正規の／正選手-season games in the NFL, gone through 18 starting quarterbacks and had just seven winning seasons.
Each of those winning （選挙などの）運動をするs ended with a first-一連の会議、交渉／完成する プレーオフ 出口. Former No. 1 全体にわたる 選ぶ and Heisman トロフィー 勝利者 Carson Palmer lost twice in the postseason for the Bengals, Andy Dalton had four 敗北・負かすs and A.J. McCarron lost in the 2015 season after Dalton got 傷つける late in the 正規の／正選手 season.

Now it´s on Burrow´s shoulders to 逆転する all that. No 圧力, kid.
"It´s just football," he said. "It´s just doing what I´ve always done. Continue to work the way I´ve always worked. 明白に I´m not going to get complacent. I 港／避難所´t done anything yet. So I´m going to come to work every day, be the hardest 労働者 that I can and lead my guys to the best of my ability."
A quick turnaround from last year´s 2-14 season in Cincinnati won´t be 平易な. Of the 24 quarterbacks 草案d first 全体にわたる since the 合併 before Burrow, only Andrew Luck 地位，任命するd a winning 記録，記録的な／記録する as a 新人, and the group won いっそう少なく than one-third of their starts.
Making 事柄s even harder this year will be the 欠如（する） of an offseason program and preseason games to help Burrow get up to 速度(を上げる） and build chemistry with his receivers.
He spent the 負かす／撃墜する time in the offseason because of the COVID-19 pandemic working out at home in Athens, practicing small 詳細（に述べる）s he didn´t need in college like how to call out a play in the 密談する／（身体を）寄せ集める. He also got some advice from 1998 No. 1 全体にわたる 選ぶ Peyton M anning and had a few informal workouts with some of his receivers, but will try to 加速する the 過程 as much as possible 早期に in （軍の）野営地，陣営.
"Everybody has to adapt to what we´re doing 権利 now," Burrow said. "The teams that are going to 勝利，勝つ the most are the teams that adapted the best to the 状況／情勢 that we´re in. So I feel like I´ve done a 公正に／かなり good 職業 at adapting to the 状況／情勢. But I guess we´ll find out. We´ll see on Sundays how many 勝利，勝つs we have."
Burrow comes into the NFL having experienced success and 失敗 in college. He was beaten out as the starter at Ohio 明言する／公表する by Dwayne Haskins and then transferred to LSU. He then struggled his first year as a starter, 完全にするing only 57.8% of his passes in 2018 before breaking through in a 記録，記録的な／記録する-setting 2019 （選挙などの）運動をする.
Burrow 完全にするd 76.3% of his passes last season, throwing an FBS-記録，記録的な／記録する 60 touchdowns and only six interceptions while 主要な LSU to a 15-0 記録，記録的な／記録する and 国家の 選手権.
That play and his demeanor have helped him quickly 伸び（る） the 信用／信任 of coach Zac Taylor, who has already made him the starter, and 退役軍人s on the team.
"That makes you feel good for sure," Burrow said. "I´m going to have to continue to do my 職業. If I don´t play 井戸／弁護士席, all that goes out of the window. So that´s the one thing that I´m 焦点（を合わせる）d on 権利 now is playing really, really 井戸／弁護士席 and doing my 職業."
