Josh Bynes is a “walking football library” for rookie linebackers

After practice on Thursday, Joe Burrow walked up to Josh Bynes to pick the veteran’s brain and ask how he outsmarted him on an interception.

A very smart move on the part of the rookie. Why? Because, Bynes is a guy who studied a lot of film and learned under Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. Despite turning 31-year-old this Monday - and being surrounded by three talented rookies and a talented second-year player in Germaine Pratt - Bynes’ veteran savvy will probably make him a starter in Cincinnati.
