The college quarterback Burrow reminds me most of is Peyton Manning. Manning was perhaps a tad bigger but lacked Burrow's mobility. Both were exceptional from the neck up and were terribly accurate. Neither had exceptional arm strength, but both could make every throw an NFL quarterback needs to make.
The biggest difference is that in college Manning was highly productive for several years, not just one. But the second biggest difference was that in college Burrow played his best against the best teams, and Manning did not always play terribly well in the biggest games.
In the last 20 years or so, Manning and Burrow have seemed the most NFL ready of all the college quarterbacks I have seen.
