PFF SEC POY!

Quote

He completed 101-of-152 pass attempts targeted at least 10 yards downfield for 2,474 passing yards, 31 touchdowns and just six interceptions. His 29 big-time throws were second-most among all quarterbacks, and he led all quarterbacks with at least 100 of those attempts 10+ yards downfield with a ridiculous 69.1% adjusted completion percentage. He threw receivers open and limited even those contested-catch, 50-50 opportunities with relative ease, as he's taken the Tigers to new heights in 2019.

The Heisman Trophy is his. The honor of being the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft is his. The college football world is his.

Joe Burrow named a finalist for national Player of the Year award

SDS Staff | 3 hours ago
 
 

LSU QB Joe Burrow is among the five finalists for the Walter Camp Football Foundation 2019 Player of the Year award.

The 2019 Walter Camp Player of the Year award, which is voted on by the 130 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be announced on Thursday, December 12 during the 6 p.m. edition of ESPN’s ‘SportsCenter.’

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ranked second in the nation in passing efficiency (203.0), Burrow has passed for 4,366 yards and 44 touchdowns for the second-ranked Tigers (12-0). He’s the first player in SEC history to throw for more than 4,000 yards and 40 TDs in a season.

 

Burrow has also broken numerous school records during his 2019 season for the ages. In 12 games, Burrow has completed a school-record 314 passes on a school-record 401 attempts. He’s thrown at least one TD pass in a school-record 16 consecutive games and he’s gone over the 300-yard mark in 12 of LSU’s last 15 contests, including six straight games – also a school-record. Burrow holds the LSU record for 300-yard passing games in a season (10) and career (12).

Joining Burrow as finalists for the Walter Camp award are Justin Fields (Ohio State, sophomore), Chuba Hubbard (Oklahoma State, sophomore) Jonathan Taylor (Wisconsin, junior) and Chase Young (Ohio State, junior).

Burrow is also a finalist for the Davey O’Brien and Maxwell awards, which will be announced at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on ESPN on Thursday, Dec. 12 at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. The presumed Heisman Trophy frontrunner could clean up in the postseason awards for the 2019 season.

Desmond Howard (1991) announced tonight that the finalists for the 85th annual Heisman Memorial Trophy are LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts and Ohio State defensive end Chase Young. The announcement of the finalists was made on ESPN’s 6:00 PM EST telecast of its Monday Night Countdown show.

The four finalists will be invited to New York City for the Heisman Trophy announcement on Saturday, December 14, which will broadcast live on ESPN at 8:00 PM EST, presented by Nissan North America.

Burrow, a fifth-year senior, is the first Tiger to be named a Heisman finalist since Tyrone Mathieu (2011) and hopes to become LSU’s second winner, joining running back Billy Cannon (1959). The 6-foot-4, 216-pounder from Athens, Ohio, is 22-3 as a two-year starter at LSU after transferring from Ohio State before the 2018 season and has led the Tigers to a 13-0 record, a 2019 SEC title and the top seed in the 2019 College Football Playoff. He is the second quarterback in school history to record back-to-back 10-win seasons and he was a unanimous choice as SEC Offensive Player of the Year. Burrow has thrown for 4,715 yards and 48 TDs, both SEC records, on 342-of-439 passing for an NCAA-best 77.9% completion percentage, better than the 2008 NCAA record (76.7%), with only six interceptions. His passer rating of 201.5 is the highest in the country for quarterbacks playing at least 10 games and ahead of the NCAA record. Burrow has thrown at least four TDs in a game seven times this year, has completed better than 82.0% of his passes four times and better than 78.0% of attempts seven times and has completed now lower than 711% of his passes in any game this year. He also has 289 yards rushing with three TDs.

Fields, a true sophomore who transferred to Ohio State from Georgia in 2019, and Young, are Ohio State’s sixth and seventh Heisman finalists and follow Dwayne Haskins’ finalist appearance in 2018. Fields and Young would become the Buckeyes’ eighth winner of the Heisman. The first teammates to be named Heisman finalists since 2016, Fields and Young helped lead Ohio State to a 13-0 record, a Big Ten championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff. Fields completed 208-of-308 pass attempts for 2,953 yards and 40 touchdowns with just one interception with a completion percentage of 67,5% while also rushing for 471 yards and scored 10 rushing touchdowns. Fields, who threw at least two TD passes in every game this year including four TDs five times and three or more nine times, was named the 2019 Big Ten Offensive Player and Quarterback of the Year. The 2019 Big Ten Championship Game Offensive MVP, he is third nationally in passing efficiency (190.30) among quarterbacks who have played in at least 10 games and he is second in the country with 300 points responsible for.

Hurts, a fifth-year senior, marks the fourth straight year Oklahoma has featured a Heisman Trophy finalist, including 2017 winner Baker Mayfield and 2018 winner Kyler Murray. He is the Sooners’ ninth different finalist and their 11th finalist overall while he tries to become Okahoma’s eighth winner of the award. Hurts, who transferred to Oklahoma in 2019 from Alabama, led the Sooners to a 12-1 record, a Big 12 title, and a spot in the College Football Playoff. He has thrown for 3,634 yards on 222-of-309 passing with 32 TDs to go with 1,255 yards rushing on 219 carries (5.7 yards per carry) with 18 TDs. Hurts also has one receiving TD. He averaged 279.5 passing yards and 96.5 rushing yards and accounted for 51 touchdowns, tied for the national lead. His 71.8% completion percentage is on pace to break Mayfield’s 2016 school record (70.9) and his 200.3 passing efficiency is behind only Burrow of quarterbacks who have played in at least 10 games. He has helped Oklahoma’s offense lead the country in yards per play (8.2) while the Sooners are second nationally in yards per game (554.2). Hurts is also first in the country in yards per pass attempt (11.8) and yards per completion (16.4). His total offense of 376.1 yards per game is third in the country.

Young is just the fourth defensive lineman Heisman finalist, joining Steve Emtman (1991), Warren Sapp (1994) and Ndamukong Suh (2009). He will be the fourth top 10 defensive lineman vote-getter since Suh, joining Alabama’s Quinnen Williams (2018, eighth), Alabama’s Jonathan Allen (2016, seventh) and South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney (2012, sixth). Young was named the 2019 Big Ten Defensive Player and Defensive Lineman of the Year and won the 2019 Chicago Tribune Silver Football award as the Big Ten’s top player, as voted by conference head coaches. He is the first Ohio State defensive player to win it and the first defensive player to win it since 2009. Young, in just 11 games, leads the nation in sacks (16.5) — a school record and the most in the Big Ten in 21 years. He is the first Buckeye to record 10 or more sacks in multiple seasons since Mike Vrabel. He is first nationally in tackles for loss per game (1.91) and is tied for fourth with 21 tackles for loss, including 16 solo, for minus-129 yards (second-best in the country). Behind Young, Ohio State’s defense is second in the NCAA in total defense (247.6) and third in scoring defense (12.5).

The Heisman Memorial Trophy electorate, which selects the finalists and the Heisman winner, is comprised of 927 voters, including 870 media members and 56 former Heisman winners. The public at large is granted one overall fan vote, thanks to Heisman’s Premier Partner, Nissan North America.

“The four Heisman finalists are a remarkable group of young men with outstanding credentials,” said Rob Whalen, Executive Director of the Heisman Trophy Trust. “We look forward to celebrating their season accomplishments this weekend and crowning one of them the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner.”

Tickets are still available for the 85th Annual Heisman Memorial Trophy Dinner on Sunday, Dec. 15 at the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square. The winner will be presented with his award at this event, with past Heisman winners Steve Owens (Oklahoma, 1969), the late Rashaan Salaam (Colorado, 1994) and Mark Ingram (Alabama, 2009) also being honored on the 50th, 25th and 10th anniversaries of their Heisman wins, respectively. The Trust will also recognize former gold medal figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi as the 2019 Heisman Humanitarian Award winner in recognition of her service and dedication to underprivileged youth.

Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.heisman.com or by calling The Heisman Trophy Trust at (212) 425-7000.

NFL scout's take on Joe Burrow might be most hilarious of the 2020 draft season

Every year leading up to the NFL draft, there are anonymous scouts, coaches and executives who are ready, willing, and eager to share their opinions on draft prospects. Ostensibly, this gives the reader special insight into how NFL teams are viewing the college players who will soon join the professional ranks. Sometimes it works out. Other times, whether it’s because the NFL source is trying to throw up a smokescreen, or simply hasn’t watched the player enough to give an informed opinion but does so anyway, you get some really weird takes.

This Saturday, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow will be one of four finalists for the Heisman Trophy, along with Ohio State pass-rusher Chase Young, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, and Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts. Burrow earned his spot as a finalist with a 2019 season in which he completed 342 of 439 passes for 4,715 yards, 48 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The combination of Burrow’s 77.9% completion rate and his 10.7 yards per attempt average is particularly interesting to this writer — since I first noticed Robert Griffin III completing 72.4%  of his passes and averaging 10.7 yards per attempt in his 2011 Heisman season for the Baylor Bears, that stat duo has stood out to me as one indicator of a quarterback’s ability to combine accuracy and big-play ability in a compelling package. Baker Mayfield went over a 70% completion rate and 10 yards per attempt in each of his last two seasons at Oklahoma. Deshaun Watson never did it. Andrew Luck never did it. It’s a hard thing to do.

Still, when it comes to Burrow’s NFL prospects, there are apparently those in the league who remain unimpressed. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler recently spoke with a number of pro evaluators about the top prospects for 2020, and Burrow didn’t come out shining in the mind of one AFC scout.

“He’s not a particularly thick, stout guy, and he doesn’t have a huge arm,” the scout told Fowler. “He’s overcome all of that by the way he played, and the Alabama game helps him a lot. He’s a really smart football player… Joe Burrow quite frankly looked like a backup at best last year. Even in training camp, I don’t think anybody could have anticipated how well he’s played. The debate is going to be: OK, how much is it him? Is it [passing game coordinator/wide receivers coach] Joe Brady’s system?”

It is true that Burrow wasn’t the same guy in 2018, when he completed 57.8% of his passes for 2,894 yards, 7.6 yards per attempt, 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions. But this was also the first time Burrow was a starter at the NCAA level after three years as a redshirt and backup at Ohio State. To label Burrow as a product of the system when it’s just as possible that he was a product of his own development seems to betray a cursory understanding of Burrow’s skill set.

As to the comment about Burrow’s arm strength — well, that curves to the wrong side of ridiculous. You don’t have to cherry-pick the big plays Burrow has created with his arm both in the pocket and when improvising, and the statistics back that up.

 

In 2019, he led all NCAA quarterbacks with 16 touchdown passes on throws of 20 or more air yards, and he was absolutely incendiary on the types of routes that define a deep passer for better or worse — the posts, seam routes, fades, deep crosses, out-and-ups, and so on. When throwing to his receivers on those types of routes, Burrow completed 46 of 67 passes for 1,186 yards, 19 touchdowns, and one interception, per Sports Info Solutions. Burrow also led the nation in total air yards with 2,536, and there are more than enough tight-window throws to tell you that his success is about far more than a bunch of designed openings created against overwhelmed defenses.

The Alabama Crimson Tide, who watched Burrow complete 31 of 39 passes for 393 yards and three touchdowns back in early November, would attest to that. So would the Georgia Bulldogs, who watched Burrow complete 28 of 38 passes for 349 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions in the SEC Championship game last Saturday.

The pre-draft process doesn’t really get going from a public awareness standpoint until after the Super Bowl. So, we’re in for a lot more weird opinions from anonymous NFL guys over the next few months. But the “Joe Burrow doesn’t have a huge arm” take is going to be tough to top.
