Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow shot down any speculation that he would not play for the Cincinnati Bengals and told reporters that he will play for whoever drafts him.
“You guys kind of took that narrative and ran with it," Burrow said. "There has never been anything like that from my end.”
He reiterated that he will play for whatever team would draft him.
"I'll play for whoever drafts me," he said.
The rumor stemmed from a report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram where former No. 1 pick Steve Bartowski said that Burrow would act similarly to Eli Manning in 2004, where the quarterback refused to play for the San Diego Chargers and was sent to the New York Giants.
