The Cincinnati Bengals think they have something truly special with Joe Burrow.
And the NFL seems to agree.
While promoting the two-week mark until the regular season officially kicks off, the NFL’s official accounts included Burrow in its promotional graphics.
This doesn’t sound like the biggest deal in the world, sure. But Bengals fans can attest that the NFL and most everywhere else outside of Cincinnati… won’t typically use Bengals players much at all in these sorts of things.
And this one is particularly notable. Burrow appears alongside some absolutely heavyweight names such as Aaron Donald, Michael Thomas, Lamar Jackson and Tom Brady.
Again, nothing wild here. But it does speak to the heavyweight presence of Burrow and the fact even the NFL can’t deny the Bengals a spotlight right now as a passer coming off one of the best college seasons ever gets ready to start his pro career.
