Trent Brown on comparisons of Joe Burrow to Tom Brady: “The Traits of a winner are there”

Generally a query will be each cringe-worthy, but in addition concurrently insightful. This occurs usually on the nationwide speaking head reveals, whereby the Query du Jour facilities round matters like “Is (X player) elite?” and “Will the (fill-in-the-blank) make the postseason this year?”

However, maybe one which rings probably the most true on this vein is the comparability query: “Is (X player) the next (Y player)?”.

Effectively, thankfully and sadly for you all, we requested such a cringe but intriguing query to latest Orange and Black Insider visitor Trent Brown. The massive offensive lineman had the pleasure of taking part in with the good Tom Brady for one Championship season in 2018, in addition to with Bengals celebrity signal-caller Joe Burrow.

In response to a query that will have been an anticipated one, Brown had a particularly respectable retort.

“I think they’re both great in their own right and they deserve that respect to be individuals in that way,” Brown stated. “I think there are some, just like I told you about ‘The Patriot Way,’ it’s working towards a common goal, guys not afraid to put the work in, not afraid to work hard. So, I think those individuals (Brady and Burrow) aren’t afraid to put the work in, work hard, and aren’t afraid to do whatever it takes to be great.”

Brady’s work ethic is the stuff of legend,s and we find out about Burrow’s as properly. The Bengals’ quarterback has simply wrapped up his second NFL Comeback Participant of the 12 months award, displaying his personal wonderful work ethic in having large seasons coming off of main, season-ending accidents from the yr prior.

“So, I don’t really want to compare them—I’ll just say that the traits of a winner are there.”

Whereas Burrow hasn’t had the identical early-career championship-level success of Brady, he’s had tastes of greatness. Burrow led the Bengals to an unbelievable Tremendous Bowl LVI look and a subsequent AFC Championship look the very subsequent season.

Talking of Brown mentioning “The Patriot Way,” that mantra is one thing that has all the time been an NFL enigma. It bears completely different definitions, relying on the present or former New England participant, you ask, however there are comparable themes.

As famous above, Brown echoed a few of these comparable sentiments we’ve heard earlier than. Laborious work is a centric theme, however Brown expanded upon that, too.

“I think it was a group of guys working towards the same goal, not afraid of hard work, not afraid to practice hard, and really just doing your job—that’s really it,” Brown stated. “I think over the years, you could see that it wasn’t a roster full of the best players, but you had the best quarterback to ever play the game, and I think he (Brady) was able to do a lot with a little, at times in a lot of different positions as well.”

It’s a bit unclear as to who and the place Brown was particularly pointing to on the roster, however one could make educated guesses. For the way nice Invoice Belichick is/was, the Patriots’ draft file with excessive picks, significantly vast receivers, wasn’t nice. And, as their workforce succeeded yr after yr, groups plucked varied contributors off of New England’s roster, forcing them to fill voids yr after yr.

“It’s a lot of greatness from top-to-bottom…so I don’t think it’s anything special,” Brown continued. “It’s funny (Julian) Edelman made a post yesterday about the 2018-2019 Super Bowl—nobody would have ever thought we were going to win the Super Bowl, but how we all rallied together, especially how the season started, and as we got closer…everybody started to feel like ‘Wait, we can do this,’ you know what I mean?”

Brown additionally famous that going into that referenced Tremendous Bowl LIII, Belichick advised his workforce that they’d a definite benefit over the Rams within the sport. All of them felt that they have been probably the most well-conditioned workforce, bodily talking, and that may permit them to outlast Los Angeles within the last sport of a grueling season.
