Orlando Brown Jr. has struggled this season and he is apparently blaming it on quarterback Joe Burrow.
Orlando Brown Jr. has struggled this season and he is apparently blaming it on quarterback Joe Burrow.

Orlando Brown Jr. won Super Bowl LVII with the Kansas City Chiefs in February. A month later, the offensive tackle signed a massive four-year deal worth $64 million with the Cincinnati Bengals. The bar was set high for Brown to make an impact on the Bengals' offensive line and protect quarterback Joe Burrow.

Through ten weeks of the NFL season, Brown has been less than impressive and has an offensive grade of 60.9.

When asked the difference in blocking for Burrow and not Patrick Mahomes, Brown referenced Mahomes ability to scramble and move. Whereas Joe Burrow isn't as mobile of a quarterback.

“Now, as opposed to having to play in a lot more space with guys on my edge, guys have got to rush through me because Joe isn’t necessarily at 12-1/2 or 13 yards on certain drops. He’s going to be at 7-1/2 getting the ball out.”
