His line was poor for much of 2020 and he still went 14-1, put up great numbers and went to the SB. Hell, his tackles weren’t even very good last year. He (and Reid) just made them look much better than they are. You’ll find that out soon enough.

Well, Burrow has performed at times at a high level with shitty protection too. It's just that his sore thumbs (Aaron Donald/Cheifs AFCCG '22) stick out.
