Joe Burrow has built a reputation as a cool character under pressure. It's been that way for a long time, evidenced by Trey Wingo recently on the Caps Off Podcast.

As a nine-year-old, Burrow led a game-winning comeback in an AAU basketball game by scoring nine points in the final 30 seconds. His team was trailing by eight at the time.
