Cincinnati Bengals fans have been peppered with rumor after rumor that top quarterback prospect Joe Burrow would spurn the franchise and his home state if taken number one overall. With his statements to the press at the combine, that narrative should mercifully come to an end.

Burrow goes on to say the following,
“You guys (media) kind of took that narrative and ran with it. There has never been anything like that from my end.”
Considering the week started out with reports that “the perception he doesn’t want to go there (Cincinnati) is real”, this should be a huge relief for the Queen City.
