QB Joe Burrow was revealed on the NFL's Top 100 list at No. 6 overall Monday live on NFL Network.
Burrow led the NFL in passing yards (4,918) and passing touchdowns (43) in 2024, joining Tom Brady in 2007 and Aaron Rodgers in 2011 as the only quarterbacks in league history to toss for at least 4,500 yards, 40 touchdowns and fewer than 10 interceptions.
The first overall pick in 2020 set an NFL record with eight straight games of at least 250 passing yards and at least three touchdown passes. He also became the second QB in league history to have multiple seasons completing at least 70% of his passes, joining Drew Brees.
Burrow tied Bengals' legend Ken Anderson for the franchise record with his 70.6% completion percentage last season, and he broke his own franchise records for yards and touchdowns en route to winning Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year for the second time.
"He's an incredible quarterback. He's just fun to watch play. He's exciting when the ball is in his hands," NFL Hall-of-Fame QB Peyton Manning said of Burrow this offseason. "The game is never over… He's calm, he's collected, he doesn't sweat."
The Bengals' offense returns in full force in 2025 after WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins signed extensions with the club this offseason. The Bengals led the NFL in passing yards, passing yards per game and passing touchdowns in 2024, and Pro Football Focus graded the Bengals as the best passing offense in the NFL with a 92.8-passing grade. Burrow also is coming into 2025 after his first fully healthy offseason.
"We know how defenses feel when they step on the field against us. We feel it when we're out there," Burrow said after the Chase and Higgins deals were finalized. "As long as we continue to put in the work to be the best we can be, the sky's the limit for us."
Burrow makes his fourth consecutive appearance on the NFL Top 100 list. He debuted at No. 21 in 2022, followed by No. 6 in 2023 and No. 39 in 2024. He is the third Bengal currently revealed on the list, joining WR Tee Higgins (No. 77) and DE Trey Hendrickson (No. 14).
Active NFL players vote on the Top 100 list, starting with No. 100 and going down to No. 1.
