Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s main priority this offseason is getting healthy after he suffered a torn ligament in his wrist last season that caused him to miss the final seven games.
Even though that was Burrow’s second season-ending injury in his first four seasons in the league, he has still put up production strong enough to put him atop a specific list.
PFF posted a graphic showing the highest career grades for the 2020 NFL Draft class, and Joe Burrow tops the list at 93.3 followed closely by Justin Jefferson at 93.2, CeeDee Lamb at 91.3, Antoine Winfield Jr. at 91.0, and Tristan Wirfs at 91.0.

Fellow quarterbacks Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts were at 90.9 and 89.3, respectively, in what is turning into a very impressive QB class.
It’s no surprise to see Burrow atop this list even with the unbelievable production of Jefferson and Lamb so far, as Burrow has cooked from the second he stepped on the field.
In four years, Burrow has thrown 97 touchdowns and just 37 interceptions with a gaudy 68-percent completion percentage to go along with ten rushing touchdowns.
PFF ratings don’t mean everything, but if you were to rank these players strictly on production over the past four years, this seems like a pretty accurate ranking.
Burrow will be without his offensive coordinator this season, as Brian Callahan left to become the head coach of the Tennessee Titans.
The Bengals will also be looking to replace long-time running back Joe Mixon, but Burrow should still have Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at WR to pump targets to.
