Highlights:

Joe Burrow is unlike any rookie he's ever seen. His control of the huddle and maturity is "amazing". He also mentioned his accuracy and how everybody has "bought in" to him.

Mentioned Joe Mixon had the 3rd most yards of any RB in the second half of the NFL season last year (Chubb, Henry) and is sure he'll get a deal done before the season starts. States Mixon is the emotional leader on the offense and is "All Bengal", Stated the coaches "figured it out" on the trip to London last year. Expects a huge year.

Thinks Higgins will be WR#3

Not impressed with the Defense. Thinks we'll have to score a lot

Nothing earth shattering, just though I'd share

I had multiple people question me when I claimed he was one of the main leader’s of this team...

The defense is concerning, but maybe Burrow was just pissed after that rocky first day.
