New Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. didn’t get to travel with the Kansas City Chiefs for their White House visit this week honoring their Super Bowl victory from last season.
But Brown didn’t sound too miffed about it when asked, instead opting to say he was more than happy to come in with the guys and put in work.
Brown told Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media that one of the best things about the team is working with offensive line coach Frank Pollack.
“I was just really focused on getting better,” Brown said. “I’m here now and I didn’t want to end up missing a day. We had to be here yesterday, so it was an opportunity for me to get some work in and I’m happy to be a part of this organization.”

Brown has been at seemingly everything with teammates since singing and his overall approach sure matches the report that suggested he and his reps reached out to the Bengals in free agency, not the other way around.
