From Albert Breer SI's MMQB column talking about the TJ Watt-Joe Burrow wrestling match.

Zac's reaction about how Joe handled the encounter

“No, I think Joe thinks deep down he’s a linebacker,” Taylor told me. “That’s what he thinks. And that’s kinda how he plays sometimes, and sometimes I gotta hold my breath when he plays that way. But that’s just the mentality he has. And he’s the son of a coach. He’s grown up around football, he’s grown up around being tough and then understanding what toughness is, how that can help you as a leader.

Anyone that’s ever seen that OSU tire wrestling video knows Joe is a dog. You just aren’t taking that out of him. Not that I’d want to, but like Zac said - sometimes you have to hold your breath lol.

Joe’s devious smile after his interaction with Watt told me all I needed to know about how that went. He could sense the frustration and was feeding off the tears.

I posted after it happened that it reminded me of the tire drill

Linebackers think they are Joe Burrow.

TJ may be changing his number to 9! LOL

Yeah, he don't back down. Even when he went to LSU he got in a fight with Devin White in practice and everyone took notice.
