Have you been able to find any video or an interview quote with the question that led to the leverage comment? I haven’t, which I also think is weird. Usually the question that led to a comment like that is explained. If the question was, “do you want to play for the Bengals” and he answered about leverage, then yes, that’s weird and concerning. If the question was, “do you feel you have any leverage during this process” then the leverage comment isn’t weird. It’s specifically addressing the question. Who is possibly going to say, “no, I have zero leverage in this whole thing. I’m stuck with whatever happens to me.” That comment probably gets picked apart more than his original answer.

He did work with a lot of NFL guys when Burrow was working out with him.

Most everyone already knew this, just nice hearing it from Joe's mouth.
Anything the media says now a days should be questioned, it has become THAT bad.
If you don't question anything they say you are setting yourself up.

Well, he mentioned working with kids in the interview. He said no one knew who Joe was when he first came out there lol

Nah... He's repeatedly said whoever drafts him and pays him is cool with him. He shouldn't have to get specific. He's not a Bengal yet. This team is run, and coached by buffoons. He'd look silly gushing over the Bengals only for them to go full on Brown's and Baker Mayfield, and draft Herbert or some dumb shit.
But he's said the word Bengals now though so all is well.
For what it's worth the guys on ESPN radio this morning did a tease before a commercial break asking what if we took Tua. The media isn't going to stop... But we can.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

I’m beyond excited about this kid. Maybe more than I ever have been as a Bengals fan. There was a lot of hope when we took Palmer, but Burrow just feels different. I really do think he could be a franchise changing player for us.

I like the way Burrow carries himself much better than Palmer, this is not even speaking about his talent that is set up
perfectly for how the NFL QB's of today have to play. He has the smarts, the quick release, the pocket awareness, the
accuracy, the ability to throw Receivers open and most importantly the leadership aspect.
Don't think I have ever been this excited going into the Draft honestly.
