What quarterbacks gift their offensive linemen around the holidays has become something of a public competition, it seems.
And of course, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wants to win.
That’s how it feels, anyway. According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, Burrow gifted his linemen authentic Japanese Katana swords, letting his linemen pick out their own from a selection.
“Joe does a great job at buying gifts that are extremely meaningful,” Orlando Brown said, according to Dehner. “The fact that he bought me a sword, it’s the most ancient form of respect.”
Where some quarterbacks settle for more normal things like gifting his linemen cars, Burrow went a bit extra here — and it rules. Go figure, from the guy who bought his own Batmobile.
