Joe Burrow to John Ross has a nice ring to it, right?
The Cincinnati Bengals might just make that a possibility via the first pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
And if they do, Ross has already gotten a head start on working with Burrow. The Bengals wideout has shown up a few times on Jordan Palmer’s Instagram — he’s busy helping Burrow with pre-draft training right now.
“That definitely will be,” Ross said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “He looked like a national champion … I think everybody knows how talented he is. He knows how talented he is. I like the way he carried himself. He looked just as good as he did all season.”
Ross himself is an interesting story. He showed massive upside last year while at one point leading the NFL in receiving before getting hurt again. He finished the year with just eight games played.
But it’s no secret one of Burrow’s strengths as a prospect is his accuracy on deep passes, oftentimes after extending or creating with his legs. Or written another way, it’s not hard to see why Ross might be excited about the idea.
Which just goes to show that the Burrow hype doesn’t just apply to Bengals fans — players are feeling it too.
