Whoever wants to pay me money to play the game of football, I'll play for 'em. It doesn't matter to me. - Joe Burrow

It's exciting for us to see the Bengals in the news a lot. Growing up nobody talked about the Bengals too much. It's exciting for us, exciting for the city that people are starting to realize we're a really good team and an exciting team as well.

Coming from southeast Ohio it's a very impoverished area and the poverty rate is almost two times the national average. There's so many people there that don't have a lot and I'm up here for all those kids in Athens and Athens County that go home to not a lot of food on the table, hungry after school. You guys can be up here, too.

Excited to be playing in Death Valley next season. Ready to get to work.
