Cincinnati Bengals safety Nick Scott, one of the team's new additions this offseason, cleared up a misconception about quarterback Joe Burrow this week during an appearance on Up and Adams.
Scott, who signed with the Bengals earlier this offseason after spending four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams (he was on the Rams team that beat Cincy in the Super Bowl), was asked by host Kay Adams if Burrow is as quiet off the field as many folks believe he is.
Adams noted that she's talked with numerous folks that are extremely close to Burrow. And she pointed out that she gets the vibe that Burrow quietly stays to himself much of the time.
Scott, however, said that's necessarily the case.
"He's bouncing around the locker room talking to guys," said Scott. "He's playing card games with the DBs (defensive backs). He's on the ping pong table when he's mobile. So, I mean, it's clear that he has a relationship with a lot of guys on the team. And our relationship (between Burrow and Scott) is growing. So I'm excited about him. And he's not as quiet and to himself as a lot of the people on the outside think or see. I think he's just got his trusted circle of teammates that he kind of rocks with. So it's good to see him be social."
Bengals fans who follow the team closely won't be surprised to hear Scott's comments. It's evident from Burrow's media sessions and interactions with teammates off the field that he's a social guy who enjoys the occasional big event (like a Kid Cudi concert after the Super Bowl).
Burrow certainly has his "to himself" moments, but ultimately, he's a player that's going to make sure he has some sort of relationship with every player on the team.
What else would you expect from an elite leader like Burrow?
