"I know what I see. I see greatness. He could be that guy. That's what the Bengals need. That's what every team needs."
"He was a point guard. All-state basketball player. That's what I want to see in my quarterback. A multi-dimensional personality who plays many sports. Point guard and quarterback are very similar. That's what I love about who he is as a kid."
"Too much of an athlete. He's an underappreciated athlete. He reminds me, in that regard, I don't know if when Patrick Mahomes came out that people knew the kind of athlete he was. Great baseball player. Great basketball player. He kind of found quarterback because it was awesome and great and it was challenging. I think that's what this kid is. We all do. Those that played the game recognize why we picked this sport. There's nothing like playing this position. Especially when you're successful."
"This kid is different. This kid is special. Mr. Ohio Football. Very few times do you have the right guy from the right area that carries himself at a very high, mature level."
"He had these pro concepts at LSU. He's not a dummy. Joe Brady a very good influence on him. I think he has the goods to be good right out of the gate. I hope as good as Daniel Jones. Just don't fumble the ball."
"Coming in there is tough under those circumstances. I thought he held up really well. We've had a lot guys come through there that you really have to wonder about A couple of years ago Coach Cowher met (Browns future quarterback) Baker Mayfield on the set and said, 'That's my guy and I'll go to war with that guy.' A guy like Coach Cowher is a guy like Baker Mayfield needs. He just got in a bad situation like most people do when they get the wrong coach. I think Joe Burrow can be that guy. I felt it meeting him and talking to him."
"I don't see how the Bengals don't pick him."
