Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s name is one of 1,400 signatures compiled by the Players Coalition in a letter going to the United States Congress

Burrow’s signature is one of many NFL stars, joining the likes of Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Dak Prescott. The letter supports a bill to end qualified immunity for police.

According to ESPN, U.S. Reps. Justin Amash, L-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., put forth the bill Thursday in response to the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. The report also says the coalition has invited all 32 teams to a virtual meeting this week to focus on initiatives in key areas.

This small effort from Burrow follows up on his actions when he spoke up recently — which Bengals greats have thanked him for doing. The No. 1 pick this year has been adamant he’ll look for more ways to put his platform to work in areas like this.
