A potential set up for getting into trouble  Joe will help keep him focused 

I think it's more of a low-key, calm and focus, rather than a shyness; even when he spoke to the kid(s) at Nick, he was positive and pleasant, but not exuberant like you see many of the players act around kids.

From everything I've seen/read (I may be completely wrong, so do correct me if so), he had a good upbringing and was at least middle-class, with both his parents still together.

That tells me that he's well-grounded already, with or without Burrow. Don't forget, people have been raving over his football IQ since before he was drafted; I simply perceive Chase to be a down-to-earth, intelligent and calm person. Tee is the same way, but I haven't seen anything praise his smarts or football IQ, outside of extending his arms so that defenders can't knock the ball out (which I still hold my breath on every time I see it lol). Not saying that Tee isn't smart or intelligent, but with his rougher upbringing and less-grounded childhood, HE appears more shy than Chase and had he not come out and written his article for the Tribune, I would've pegged him to be the perfect archetype to fall off the rails, due to his past and perceived lack of smarts.

I'm no behavioural expert though, so I may just be blowing smoke
