While the front office of the Cincinnati Bengals is preparing for the NFL Scouting Combine and free agency, its biggest investment was off observing an investment of his own.
Per his Instagram story, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was in Columbus Wednesday evening to watch the Omaha Supernovas take on the Columbus Fury in a Pro Volleyball Federation match. Burrow was a founding investor in the Supernovas back in 2023.
Omaha is one of seven teams in the PFL, which is in the midst of its inaugural season. It's no coincidence Burrow wanted to be involved with this particular franchise.
Burrow's father, Jimmy, played college football at Nebraska in the mid 1970s. Two of Burrow's brothers, Dan and Jamie, followed in their father's footsteps and also played for the Cornhuskers.
Burrow himself actually wanted to play at Nebraska, but never got an offer. What a blunder that was.
The Supernovas unfortunately fell in this match, 3-1, but they're a solid 4-3 on the young season thanks in part by a three-match winning streak leading up to Wednesday's contest.
Burrow's ownership in the team is shared with famous pop star Jason Derulo, whom met Burrow last year at Super Bowl 57. The two share a connection with Derulo's business partner, Danny White.
Burrow didn't get to see a W, but his former college home of Columbus did. It's nice that their games are in the offseason for him to check out.
