Bengals players rave about Joe Burrow as workouts begin – NFL.com

The veteran wideout kept in mind Burrows confidence being available in and out of the huddle, something he wasnt required to do while winning the Heisman Trophy at LSU.

The cooing didnt end with Uzomah.

” He has that confidence about him, but hes not overboard,” Erickson stated. “He brings himself like he knows he belongs. As he should. He earned the right to be the No. 1 choice. Hes made the right to be the face of the franchise. But he has a rookies technique. He has to earn the regard of his colleagues. Hes doing that one day at a time.”

Several veterans noted that Burrow wasnt scared to remedy colleagues mistakes or suggest tweaks to paths and so on. That type of command is essential for a novice who hasnt had an offseason and will be tossed into the fire come Week 1.

” It sounds like a little thing, however that stuff truly matters. It makes a big difference when the quarterback states the play, you get a good break and it sets a tempo for the entire play.”

We have not heard an unfavorable word about Burrow this offseason. The hope in Cincinnati is that the rookie continues to shine when the pads come on and the games begin to matter.

” The first thing with a great deal of the rookies, especially men that go from a system where theyre not in a huddle, theyre shouting out plays. Hes got command in the huddle,” Erickson stated. “You can inform hes truly worked hard at it in the offseason.

” He can absolutely spin it,” receiver Alex Erickson added. Not going to be an issue.”

” The first thing with a lot of the novices, especially guys that go from a system where theyre not in a huddle, theyre shouting out plays. Hes got command in the huddle,” Erickson said.” He has that self-confidence about him, but hes not overboard,” Erickson said. He has a novices approach.
