Hall of Famer
Former Falcons QB Steve Bartkowski says based on his experience of being the first overall pick by a bad Falcons team in 1975, Burrow should pull an Eli Manning and get to another team. Burrow has said "If they draft me, they draft me" but also acknowledged the leverage he has similar to Eli and Elway.

“They’re Ohio guys,” Bartkowski said. “I might’ve offended them by telling them that, [but] if it’s the Bengals, I think I’d pull an Eli Manning on that one. I said, ‘You’ve got a chance to do that. That’s happened.’ [John] Elway kind of set the tone, then the Mannings delved into it after Eli was picked by San Diego.”
“I do have leverage,” Burrow said. “They have their process and I have my process. We haven’t even gotten to the Combine yet. There’s a lot of things that happen leading up to the draft and a lot of information gathered.
