Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross has already put in work with Joe Burrow this offseason.
Ross popped up in a few workout videos with Burrow and Jordan Palmer before the draft and had some comments about the eventual No. 1 pick then.
This week Ross touched on the same topic in an AMA with B/R and said the following about Burrow, per Scott Polacek: “It’ll be good. I’ve worked out with him; I love his demeanor, how he carries himself. I’ve seen him do some great stuff on and off the field.”
Ross also had an interesting response when asked if he thinks the Bengals make the playoffs:
“Of course. I only say that out of confidence. I believe in where we’re headed as a team with some of the new additions that we have. We’re primed to make a lot of things happen.”
Ross, who just had his fifth-year option declined, not only worked out with Burrow already but is one of the guys alongside Tee Higgins who seems poised for a Bengals workout with Chad Johnson this offseason.
Heading into a critical year as one of the team’s most notable free agents, Ross’ rapport with Burrow could go a long way toward deciding his long-term fate with the team.
