In not-so-shocking news, Joe Burrow played a big role in the Cincinnati Bengals landing La’el Collins in free agency.
Collins, after a very long stay in Cincinnati and visit with the team, reportedly agreed to a three-year deal.
And Burrow was right there at the nexus of the recruiting efforts.
"According to MMQB’s Albert Breer, it went as far as Burrow hosting Collins and other free-agent signees Hayden Hurst, Alex Cappa and Ted Karras and their families at his house:
'To punctuate the Bengals’ recruiting pitch, Joe Burrow had La’El Collins over to his house on Friday night, along with Ted Karras, Alex Cappa and Hayden Hurst, and their wives/girlfriends, I’m told.
So Burrow’s a pretty good closer on multiple fronts for Cincinnati.'

Yeah just another one of Burrow’s great qualities. That ties in with his leadership and getting the team to play for one another. Really good to see and I can't wait to see what this offense can do with an above average oline.
