Many NFL fans think that Buffalo's Josh Allen and Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes are the cream of the crop that will lead the NFL for the next generation, creating a new "Manning vs. Brady" type rivalry that has made the NFL so popular in the 21st century. But apparently, Cincinnati's Joe Burrow has a little something to say about that. Only 2 years removed from his NCAA National Championship run with LSU, Burrow's Bengals have knocked off the top-seeded Tennessee Titans and Mahomes' Chiefs to represent the AFC in Super Bowl LVI. Unforturtuantely we had to go to press before the outcome of the big game, but if Burrow does pull off the Super Bowl victory, he'll join two other "Joes" (Namath and Montana) as the only starting QB's to hold up the trophy at the college and pro level. As the only one of the three to also win a Heisman Trophy, Burrow can be the first to achieve a college-pro "Triple Crown." Drawing comparisons to Montana, Burrow has been tabbed with the nickname "Joe Brrr", a modern take on Montana's "Joe Cool", but others refer to his ability to pull out supposed upset victories in the clutch with the title "Jackpot Joey"; both seem apropos. The featured card has been shooting up the charts as one of the most coveted examples in the hobby and carries investment potential that is off the scale; a 2020 Panini National Treasures Joe Burrow Green Jersey RPA with a production run of only 9 examples (this is #6 of 9). A generous swatch of Burrow's jersey is accompanied by a perfect blue marker signature that rates a perfect 10 from PSA, with the card graded 9 MINT. Armed with a solid running game and the receiving wizardry of former LSU teammate JaMarr Chase, Burrow has the kitties poised to transform the city of Cincinnati from perennial also-rans to becoming a formidable squad for the next 20 years, making this beauty all the more enticing. Here's your chance to get in early!
