I've never been in that position before, that was kind of exciting for me. Zac Taylor always kind of jokes,' Hey, don't pretend like the headset goes out, so you can call your own plays.'.

Joe Burrow

There’s great players at every position in the NFL, but only a few affect the game in a drastic way, and quarterback is the one position that can affect the game every single play, i like having the ball in my hands every play and be able to win or lose with me.

Obviously, the players get better and the schemes get better but, honestly, my mindset stays the same, when I played in the state championship in high school, it feels the same as Super Bowl does now. At that moment in my life, that was the biggest game I ’d ever played in. So everything kind of feels the same, but I’ve had more reps in those situations, so I ’m probably even a little calmer.

At Ohio State, I was confident but not as confident as I had been in the past and would be in the future, those are times you really learn a lot about yourself as a player and a person, and keeping confidence high in those situations is tough.

Looks like a national champion.

I’ve kind of always been Joe Burrow, probably more so now than I ever have been before because I feel like I’ve proven to Joe Burrow that I can play at a high level at this level of football.

Focus on getting better, do n’t have a workout and post it on Instagram the next day and then go sit on your butt the next four days and everyone thinks you’re working hard but you’re really not.

In the SEC, every single week it seems like every stadium is really loud, there's hundreds of thousands of people.
