Former Atlanta Falcons head coach June Jones knows a thing or two about quarterbacks. 

Jones, 68, spoke to Fox News Digital about Super Bowl LVI and what fans can expect to see when two former No. 1 Draft picks, Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford, square off when Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams meet at SoFi Stadium on Sunday night.

"I think he was probably more ready to come to the national football league than most young quarterbacks having played in the system that he played in at LSU," Jones said of Burrow. "I think this postseason he’s been so accurate."

Jones said the biggest hurdle for the second-year quarterback will be the Rams defense. He praised Burrow’s toughness but pointed to his league-high of 51 sacks as a major concern. 

"His toughness has shown up and that has spurred his team to really believe in him and I think that’s coming through bright and clear with the whole football team," he said. 

"I think the Rams are going to try and take the quick throws away from him and let their front four go and I think, if they can take the quick throws away then the front four will get pressure and if (Burrow) has to hold the ball at all when they’re only rushing four, I think the D-line of the Rams is far superior to the offensive line of Cincinnati."
