“Joe by the way,” Burrow said.
Over the last several seasons, the Cincinnati Bengals have been defined by a handful of players, and Joe Burrow is among them.
While some could argue he should be the league’s reigning MVP, Burrow is coming off a tremendous season and appears to be at full strength. Without a limp in sight, he introduced himself to the Bengals first-round pick, Texas A&M defensive lineman Shemar Stewart.
Here’s the hilarious video of the two meeting for the first time.

Flash forward an hour or so, and you have the breakdown of Sanders meeting Burrow. The former Aggies standout also spoke on how it is different actually meeting the stars versus just seeing them on television.
“It was a cool moment for me.”
You’ve likely seen the video.

Sanders is going to have quite a bit on his plate from the start, especially with the Bengals taking him out of need. They have to have more production on the defensive line, and while it isn’t all on Sanders’ shoulders, he is the team’s first-round pick.
With Sanders, Joseph Ossai, and many others, Cincinnati’s defensive line should return to being a strength for the organization. That’s at least the goal. Just like Burrow said, let’s hope Sanders can get some sacks this season!
