Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters June 17 that he feels “very similarly” about this Cincinnati team entering the 2026 NFL season to how he felt about the LSU Tigers before he led them to a national championship at the conclusion of the 2019 college football season.
Bengals radio play-by-play announcer Dan Hoard shared video in a tweet of Burrow saying the following of LSU in 2019: “I think we’re going to score a lot of points, and I don’t think a lot of people are used to LSU scoring 40, 50, 60 points a game.”
“LSU averaged 48.4 and went 15-0,” Hoard tweeted. “He hasn’t said anything that bold this year, but he clearly thinks the Bengals have a chance to be special.”
“I want everybody talking about the Bengals,” Burrow added June 17. “I’m so excited to get started and get moving. I wish we would ramp this right into training camp, so we can continue to improve because I feel like there’s so much greatness that we’re gonna be able to achieve this year. I’m just excited to get going.”
