I just want to play football" a month ago and we wouldn't be having this conversation. The 'leverage' comment was weird and his defense of it today made no sense.
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.

Joe Burrow on if he will happily report to the #Bengals it they select him at No. 1.

“Yes. Of course.”
The. End. Of. This.
Joe Burrow said he’s excited to get to know the #Bengals offense and what the coaches see from him and how he can get better. He wants to learn and improve his game. Added QB fit is important: “I think my skill set is really diverse and can fit into different schemes.”

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’ll take Macaulay Culkin or Jim Brewer over the bully from A Christmas Story any day lol

I'm getting more info on what some teams think of Joe Burrow the guy. One team executive said the two most remarkable people he's ever met in the NFL were Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson. He put Burrow in that same category: "A truly impressive person."

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.
