I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat and imagine there's a lot of emotional Bengals fan today.

Yeah my grandfather passed away about 1 month prior to the draft we selected Burrow #1 overall.

As with most Bengals fans, the draft was a huge excitement for us. We would always get a magazine or two with all the college players ranked by position, etc. 
Anyways, the last few months all he would talk about is how Joe Burrow was going to be the next Joe Montana, etc. 

When we drafted Burrow I know my grandpa was looking down from up above. He said drafting Chase Young over Joe Burrow, would be the worst  mistake in franchise history.

Well this past game against the Raiders, about a minute left in the game and I got this weird (weird isn't the best word but its hard to explain), feeling felt like my grandfather was in the room with my father & I watching the final plays of the game. 

Never experienced anything like that before in my life.
But yeah I miss my pops
