It was first reported by Ian Rapaport I believe, and was NOT genuine reporting. I always saw it as a hidden "burrow doesn't want to play for the Bengals" thing again. Of course since Burrow clarified this was not the case many national media types "officially" stopped saying it, but like Rapaport (who always hawked that nonsense), they just couldn't resist. So this was a way of saying it without really saying it. Brown could've been there just because everybody knows they're picking Burrow and he wanted to "meet" the 23 year old he was about to invest hundred of millions of dollars in.
So basically I'm not sure why we (or cincyjungle or whomever) are really giving this story line credit by running with it.
Still nice to hear instead of the constant Stooler fan media types claiming we are going to trade the Burrow pick...
