DE C.J. Hicks (National Champion, transfer to USF)

Captain Buckeye
Such an added boost. I was really bummed out when it became obvious his role wasn’t going to be anything big. So when he was going to red shirt my first thought was “just get to the playoffs”.

Enormous that he’s back and also that we can add him to next years line up. As a fifth year senior that’s going to be different if we can also be fortunate enough to have KJ back too.

Burrow didn't start until his RSjr year. So if we're going off a pure year to year comparison, then It can only be marked as N/A.

The comparisons we're giving are essentially what we know of Joe in his last season contrasted to what we see with JS now and using a great deal of projection.

Julian still has quite a bit of room for growth, especially when it comes to being more efficient as a passer when given full field reads.

That was something that, about 3/4 of the way through his 1st season starting, Burrow really began to show a higher level of command. Not to say that Julian can't improve, it's just that Joe was the best QB prospect since Peyton Manning.

So when we make these comparisons, it's important to realize we're holding Julian up to a lofty, multi-generational rare talent status. I'm not comfortable making those claims.

I even find the Brees comparisons a bit lazy. Every white dude the last 10+ years that 6'0ish ft tall is Drew Brees. Julian, Kellen Moore, Baker Mayfield, Cade Klubnik, Manziel, Ty Simpson... all get WAY too much parallel to Drew Brees. Why? 6ft-ish and white.

Reminds me of that bit from Role Models - "You white? You Ben Affleck"

My comparison is Jared Goff. Not as tall as Goff, but for the pocket sense and accuracy. Not the lack of melanin.
