Joe Burrow’s Ascent, Through His Parents’ Eyes Robin and Jimmy Burrow watched their son struggle on the bench in Ohio State and carted off the field with his knee in shambles. Now, they’re watching him on the verge of the Super Bowl
Robin and Jimmy spent their time on the road answering calls and texts from concerned family members. They said the Bengals were “great,” keeping them constantly updated. Robin just wanted to be where Joe was going to be before her son got there. Paul Brown Stadium MRI room? The hospital? She didn’t care.
He was able to maintain emotional levity, never once sinking into a comfort zone where he’d just happily accept a college scholarship and move on with life. Jimmy and Robin would just keep reminding him that therethings in his control. That there are ways to get better every day, even if he’s not on the field.
Matty Meyer is rolling through the concourse of Nissan Stadium wearing orange snow pants with a spiderweb design, orange hat with Burrow’s No. 9 on the top and orange sunglasses. He is carrying a flag with the word “JACKPOT”Meyer looked up the name of, and reached out to Burrow’s agent, Brian Ayrault, in an effort to trademark the slogan. Just wait, he said, because JOE JACKPOT
He has become an attitude, an expression. Few quarterbacks in the NFL can sell a T-shirt based solely on the shape their face takes when they’re about to do something cool. Peyton Manning always looked like he was trying to fix a broken lawnmower. Brother Eli looked like he was gazing into the sun without shades on. Aaron Rodgers looks perpetually dour, as if a passive-aggressive parent was taking away his car keys.
“As we’re driving into the stadium we always play this little game,” Jimmy says. “For three or four hours we’ll tailgate, and we wait to see how long it takes to see a No. 9 jersey. It’s usually within five minutes.”
