The 2020 no.1 overall pick, of the NFL draft, and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow took to Twitter, early August 27, the day after the NBA decided to boycott playoff games due to continued acts of social injustice in America. Four words were so powerful out of what Burrow tweeted and that was "I stand with you" (speaking to the African American race).

Burrow is getting a lot of good reviews and press coming out the Bengals camp, early on. There is a word that is used frequently to describe Burrow by his coaches and teammates, that word is LEADERSHIP. Burrow has high expectations on the field from beings fans and the Cincinnati media. But, for a rookie to come out and be able to give a message like this it's very telling of what type of character he has. However, this isn't uncommon from Burrow. He also tweeted out after the death of George Floyd speaking of standing with the African American community . Also, Burrow is partnering with the Athens Food Bank to fight hunger and poverty in southeast Ohio.
Will Burrow bring a championship to Cincinnati? I'm not sure. But, as a rookie, he's already making a huge impact off-the-field. The Bengals play their season opener on September 13 at Paul Brown Stadium vs the Los Angeles Charges (No fans will be allow in the stadium for this game)
