Zac Taylor has reached out to Joe Burrow’s family about Senior Bowl

Here’s an interesting note about Zac Taylor and Joe Burrow.

Understandably, the Cincinnati Bengals and head coach Zac Taylor would love if LSU’s Joe Burrow played in the 2020 Senior Bowl.

So much so Taylor himself has apparently put a call in to Burrow’s family, as Jim Nagy, executive director for the Senior Bowl, told the Stick to Football Podcast:

“We do have some recruiting help…and Zac Taylor has reached out to the Burrow family.”

Granted, any team coaching the game would likely reach out to Burrow, one of the greatest collegiate passers in recent memory.

But it’s especially interesting from a Bengals perspective because the team clutches the top overall pick. The obvious idea is Taylor and Co. bring the Ohio kid home with that selection. As Nagy astutely points out, there’s some long-running Nebraska history there between Taylor and the Burrow family too.

If the Bengals indeed plan on taking Burrow or are even leaning that way, getting him in meetings and throwing some notes at him is one way to get ahead of the process well before the draft.

All that remains is for Burrow to actually accept the invite.
