Being a quarterback in the NFL is hard work and there's a reason only 32 guys are able to serve in that role every year. Joe Burrow is one of the best NFL quarterbacks, proving himself as a long-term franchise superstar in as early as his second season when he helped lead the Cincinnati Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance.
While the Bengals didn't win that Super Bowl and haven't been back since, Burrow has stayed in the conversation of best quarterbacks. He's even coming off the best year of his career and were it not for the team finishing outside of the playoff bubble, the MVP award could have been as good as his.
Burrow might be an absolute baller on the football field but a recent video clip showed that he should probably stick to that rather than trying his hand at being a baseball player. While trying to throw a baseball at a designated target, Burrow continuously was off the mark, proving how hard it really is to throw a baseball if an NFL quarterback is having difficulty doing so.

This just goes to show that just because Burrow is one of the best in the world at throwing a football, throwing a baseball is a whole different ball game (literally). The balls are obviously shaped differently, meaning the throwing styles differ from one another.
If Burrow was asked to throw a football and hit the target, he'd have been able to do so with ease. Asking him to throw a baseball, however, proved to be tough though he did end up hitting the side of the target on one of his later attempts. That's more than most of us can say we'd be able to do if we were in that situation.
Fortunately, Burrow has football to lean on and he's very, very good at it.
