Doesn't like to do a lot of media stuff and hates the attention.  Likes to work out, cold tub for health, and hang out at the house.
Loves playing football but doesn't like everything that comes with it.  Doesn't like the attention.  Has some anxiety from it, loves the fans but it's a lot sometimes.

Then contract talk.  Talk about his college career and offer he may have had in basketball as well.  Basketball was his favorite sport.  Then he decided to focus on football.

More talk about he broke his hand at Ohio State and how he ended up in LSU.  Was confident when he got on the field.   Felt he was a better game player than a practice player.   First year at LSU felt he was feeling out the process and the second year it clicked.  

When asked, he isn't really into partying these days.

Was kind of happy he got to stay home during the draft due to COVID and celebrate with his family instead of all the media stuff.

Paused video here.  Have to go due stuff instead of watching the rest.  But the more I see of Burrow the more I like him.   I'm glad he appreciates the fans but also isn't into getting attention.  He seems like a guy that wants to play first, put it all on the field with no concern about what the media thinks.

Also for us Burrow fans, here is his charity.  The Joe Burrow Hunger Relief Fund:

If you have a few bucks to spare maybe consider tossing them that way.  Here is a video from December 2021 about it.  I think it is worth watching.





As much as we love this game, Bengals and the NFL games , there are more important things to support. 

I hope this doesn't sound like criticism, because I respect Joe as much as anyone, but if he doesn't like attention why does he wear outrageous outfits. Sponge Bob Squarepants garb, Santa hats, bling, far out looking suits? He has to know people comment about them.
