I'll say YES, but probably not if it weren't for some "very vocal" Nebraska and Ohio State parents.

“There’s still a long way to go, but I’m expecting to be there on the first snap of 2021,” Burrow said of his injury recovery in late April, according to CBS Sports. “I’m expecting to play Game 1. I expect to take part in practice. I’m feeling really good. I’m ahead of schedule. I can’t roll out and throw yet, but it’s feeling good right now.”

During an availability Wednesday, Burrow was asked whether or not this offseason feels similar to the offseason he had in 2019 at LSU prior to winning it all.
“I think the biggest thing is I have a lot of people here that I recognize,” Burrow said. “We have a lot of Ohio State guys, a lot of LSU guys and so it’s fun being around friends. The vibe in the locker room is awesome. Everyone talks to everybody. There’s no offense is by themselves, defense is by themselves — we have great camaraderie in the locker room and I think that is the first stepping stone to being a great team.”
Burrow was also asked about what kind of leadership skills he learned during his rookie season and how he has grown as a leader entering his second pro season.
“I’ve never really consciously thought about leadership too much,” Burrow said. “I just try to be myself, talk to a lot of different people, have conversations with a lot of different people, I enjoy doing that, I enjoy hearing from guys in the locker room who maybe don’t talk a lot and hearing their stories. I think that goes a long way a lot of the time. I just always try to be myself and that’s been enough.”

College football: 25 biggest what-ifs of the 2010s
13. Ohio State hands the keys to Joe Burrow
Ohio State fans will always kick themselves. For as far as they can remember, they’ve been a powerhouse. But they had no idea the kind of offensive weapon they had just languishing on their bench for years.
While J.T. Barrett was busy throwing incompletions, missing wide-open targets and attempting to run every time down the field in 2016, quarterback Joe Burrow was sitting patiently on the bench. Although he remained a member of the team for three seasons, Burrow barely saw the field. Frustrated by his lack of playing time, Burrow packed his bags and headed to LSU. And while he played decently in his first year with the squad, his second full season was one of the best you’ll ever see.
Burrow dominated just about everyone in college. He ran away with the Heisman after throwing for 5,671 yards in 2019. He also threw for a mind-numbing 60 touchdowns against only six picks. The road to a National Championship was an easy one as Burrow and LSU completed an undefeated season.
But what if he actually stayed with Ohio State? Considering that it’s been a number of years since they’ve won it all, Burrow could have elevated the program to even loftier heights. Teams such as the Clemson Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide would have spent several years playing for second place.

Burrow battled through many months of rehabilitation with his knee and is now looking for a breakout campaign in the AFC North.
“At times at the beginning mainly, when I couldn’t really go to the bathroom by myself and I was dependent on people, that was more frustrating than anything," Burrow said. "I learned a lot about the support system I have around me. My family was great, my agents were great, the physical therapists that I had were awesome. … It helped going through it with Trey, our center. I was about a month-and-a-half ahead of him, so we would talk about how our knees were feeling and what we were going through.
"Then also Nick Bosa is one of my good friends and he was going through the same thing. So I was able to talk to a lot of different people that helped me understand what was going on.”

Well, the Najarian bros were Gophers and both played in the NFL. All Burrow needs to do is grow a skullet and start day trading his and his teammates NFL money on the CBOE.

"I love coach Meyer," Burrow said on NFL Network's postgame interview. "We have a lot of love for each other. I gave all I had for that program. It just didn't work out. We still talk. We talked all through the offseason. I saw him a couple years ago when I was coming out (of college and into the NFL). We had a conversation and he gave me an opportunity out of high school. It just didn't work out. But tonight was good."

“I’m a Joe Burrow fan. I enjoy the way he goes about his business; I enjoy the way he plays with confidence,” Rodgers said on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. “I will tell you the thing that I told him, which I’ve told other quarterbacks from time to time; slide. I said, ‘You’re too damn talented. You got so much in front of you to accomplish in this league. Sometimes, you’ve got to slide.’ You know, I would have said the same thing to the Andrew (Luck). Andrew initially got hurt in Indy, you know, being Superman and running guys over and stuff.
“The only guy who I’ve told to slide, who really didn’t need to hear it, and still doesn’t, is the guy who was playing last night (Lamar Jackson), because he’s so damn fast and talented and strong running the ball. If he can keep running like that for a lot of years, Lamar, you don’t need to slide. But everybody else, like, you know, just slide every now and then.”
