Like most Cincinnati Bengals fans, star wideout Tyler Boyd is tired of the Joe Burrow narratives.
The most recent, in not-so-surprising fashion, comes from Colin Cowherd, who once again lobbied for the Bengals to trade out of the 2020 NFL draft’s top pick because he’ll struggle with the Bengals (passing on the first overall pick because other teams in the division might be better is an interesting hill to defend).
Boyd, as seen in his tweet below, decided to speak out against the narrative.
It’s all nonsense of course — and giving it attention is what those behind such narratives want.
The latest silliness comes after the Bengals committed more than $100 million to multiple free agents in unexpected fashion, as well as on a tag for A.J. Green.
As if Green being around to help Burrow wasn’t enough, he’ll also get a line returning first-round pick Jonah Williams and Joe Mixon in the backfield. Oh and don’t forget Boyd himself, who has consecutive 1,000-yard seasons while acting as the No. 1 wideout despite little else around him, iffy quarterback play and a bad offensive line.
Burrow-Bengals narratives have long been attention-seeking narratives that don’t make sense. Here, Boyd just went public against one.
