In the four years in which Joe Burrow has played professional football, two have concluded with the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback on injured reserve.

His most recent season ended in such fashion, too, sending Burrow into the shadows of the NFL consciousness after a wrist injury ended his campaign in Week 11.

Most might bristle at the idea of being forgotten amid a thrilling season, but not Burrow, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

"I believe that," Burrow said during an appearance on Pardon My Take when asked if he felt people have forgotten about him. "That's what happens when you get hurt though. You don't play football. People forget about you.

"That's part of the game. If you're not out there and people aren't watching you, then there's nothing to talk about. So I'm going to give people something to talk about this year. I'm excited about it."
