Joe Burrow scores incredible first touchdown using his legs
by Mark FischerJoe Burrow’s first NFL touchdown wasn’t exactly what many had in mind.
The Cincinnati Bengals’ rookie quarterback and No. 1 pick scored on a 23-yard quarterback draw Sunday, giving Cincinnati a 7-0 first quarter lead over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Burrow, 23, danced through the midfield and displayed poise while waiting behind an offensive lineman before dashing into the end zone and spiking the ball in celebration.
The touchdown came on the Bengals’ fourth drive of the game. It took five plays and 39 yards, and also included a 13-yard pass from Burrow to A.J. Green.
Burrow showed off his legs at points last fall, but it was his arm that led LSU to a national championship and catapulted him up the NFL Draft board.
