Joe Burrow recently spoke out on what he thought about the Cincinnati Bengals maybe not continuing with wide receiver, Tee Higgins. According to circulating rumors, Higgins may not be a part of the Bengals squad in the next season, and this clearly irked quarterback Joe Burrow. The 28-year-old expressed his disappointment with the rumors in a press meet recently.
Cincinnati has been leaning heavily on QB Joe Burrow ever since he joined the team in 2020. Under his leadership on offense, the Bengals are ranked third in the AFC North after winning five games and losing eight so far. In their latest matchup, Cincinnati played the Dallas Cowboys and won the game, 27-20, with Burrow scoring three TDs in total. In a press conference on Wednesday, Burrow commented on Higgins’ importance in the team.
“I’d be very disappointed. He’s very important. It’s not even just his production, it’s his presence, how he comes to work every day, how the defenses have to play us when he’s out there… I don’t think you can quite put a value on that.” Burrow said in the press conference.
Tee Higgins was signed to the Cincinnati Bengals in 2020 and has gone to churn out some impressive numbers as wide receiver. Before that, Higgins played college football for the Clemson Tigers. This season alone, Higgins has managed to put up a total of 45 receptions, for 581 yards, scoring five times.
Joe Burrow’s House Burgled When QB Was Out Playing Against Cowboys
Meanwhile, Joe Burrow’s house was recently burgled when the quarterback was playing against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Burrow’s home, which is located in Anderson Township, Ohio, was broken into, but that is not what everyone is talking about. Apparently the 911 call was placed by Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Olivia Ponton, who noticed a window was broken after arriving at the house.
Burrow has not made his relationship with Ponton official, and neither has the model. After the news spread, the quarterback spoke to reporters and was disappointed that his private life was being discussed without his permission. According to reports, the swimsuit model actually told officials that she was Burrow’s employee and had no personal relationship with him.
Joe Burrow was in a relationship with Olivia Holzmacher sometime back, but the two have not been seen together for months, and might have actually broken up. But, this is also unclear at the moment.
