The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t shy about propping up their new “9 to 85” connection.

Thank the 2020 NFL draft for the revival. First pick Joe Burrow will wear No. 9 and No. 33 pick Tee Higgins has the go-ahead to wear No. 85.

It’s a fun callback to the past connection between Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson. Higgins, seemingly viewed as a first-round prospect by the Bengals, got Chad’s blessing to wear the number and even had another Bengals legend like T.J. Houshmandzadeh endorse him directly to the team before the draft.

With the numbers guaranteed and the team even promoting it on social media, only one thing remains — hype.

The team got on this aspect of the connection officially recently with an epic hype video fans will probably want to see:
