Bengals QB Joe Burrow has the wildest fascination with fossils image

Everyone knows Joe Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks alive.

But very few would've known one of Burrow's favorite hobbies if not for what Netflix's Quarterbacks series revealed about the Cincinnati Bengals superstar QB.

Burrow loves fossils.

"When aren't fossils on your mind?" Burrow asks rhetorically. "They go back millions of years. That's sick."

There Burrow is, talking about specific fossil names and the scientific evidence they provide.

Burrow is a fossil nerd at heart.

He also dissects defenses and throws dimes like almost no one else.

It's not obvious whether there has ever been an NFL quarterback before who was a fossil nut.

Burrow appears glad to uphold that banner.
