- Record-Setting Numbers: Burrow threw 60 touchdown passes, setting the FBS single-season record. His poise, accuracy, and football IQ turned LSU into an offensive juggernaut.
- Unmatched Leadership: Whether it was the calm swagger walking into the stadium, his laser focus under pressure, or his connection with teammates, Burrow’s demeanor embodied everything LSU fans admire: grit, confidence, and heart.
- #1 Overall Pick in the 2020 NFL Draft: His college dominance translated to the pros, with the Cincinnati Bengals selecting him as their franchise cornerstone.
A Legacy Cemented in Tiger Lore
To this day, murals of Burrow decorate Baton Rouge, and chants of “Geaux Joe” echo during game days. LSU fans—young and old—wear his jersey with pride, remembering a magical season that will likely never be replicated.
With this recognition from Time Square Magazine, Burrow’s legacy takes on yet another iconic milestone. More than a quarterback, he became a symbol of LSU’s resurgence, a hero of the Bayou, and now—officially—the Greatest Tiger of All Time.
