Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow knows what it feels like to be a No. 1 overall pick with overwhelming expectations.
He's also turned out to be one of the rare success stories for recent first-round quarterbacks.
So the Chicago Bears are banking that this year's top pick, Caleb Williams, proves to be another.
Burrow knows, from hosting Williams on a recruiting trip to LSU, the year's top pick is in for the roller coaster his first year in the NFL brings.
The No. 1 pick quarterback, so he's got some advice for Williams as it comes to dealing with the rollercoaster of his first NFL season.
"I think that's what separates people is when you can maintain a levelheaded, even-keel aura, personality, whatever you want to call it," Burrow said Thursday after joint practice with the Bears.
"There's going to be ups and downs. But can you come back the next day and go about your process the same way you did the week before whether you won or whether you've lost.
Whether you threw four picks or you had five touchdowns. You just have to have the mindset at the end of the day that you're going to be better.
