Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow are both in their own respective ranks.
Hurts received a vote for MVP last year and already inked a big time contract this offseason. Burrow is a favorite to win the award next season and is on his way to getting his own mega-extension.
Both players have already played in the Super Bowl in each of the last two years and nearly went head-to-head in this past year's big game. And, they just might meet in next year's Super Bowl.
How far can Hurts close the gap with Burrow? Will he make a bigger leap than Burrow next year?
The Strictly Stripes crew compares and contrasts the different trajectories of Burrow and Mahomes and where they might land next season.
Bengals guard Alex Cappa joins the crew to talk about the next chapter of protecting Burrow.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Michael Niziolek.
