Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel had high praise for quarterback Joe Burrow, commenting on his "swag" both on and off the field ahead of their Thursday night matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

During a press conference on Tuesday, McDaniel didn’t hold back when asked about his observations of Burrow as a young quarterback in the NFL, calling him "one of the true young flag bearers of our league."

"Well, coming off the bus, I see swag. And then on the field – which yeah, I have a sound place in my heart for that," he said with a laugh. "I appreciate guys, that you know, you’re the No. 1 pick in the draft. That is a burden for some. It was a blessing for him and I really respect guys that come out, take all that hype and do justice by it or exceed it."

Burrow’s rookie season was cut short when in November 2020, he suffered a serious knee injury in a game against the Washington Commanders. He tore his ACL, MCL, and sustained other structural issues in his left knee.  

The following season he would come back to lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1988, where they would eventually lose 23-20 to the Los Angeles Rams.
