Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow made it clear he has a few trips planned this summer during his team’s six-week break before training camp.
Attending UFC 276 with Jessie Bates and Chidobe Awuize was one of those.
Another, apparently, is a California training session with Ja’Marr Chase and Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson.
Peter Schrager of NFL Network let that slip during an appearance on “The Bill Simmons Podcast” recently: “Burrow right now is in I wanna say Newport Beach [California] by you training Justin Jefferson’s there, Ja’Marr Chase was there.”
Rest assured it’s serious training, too. Burrow told reporters before the break that he anticipated, perhaps somewhat jokingly, taking his trainers with him wherever he went so he didn’t miss a workout.
Working with two former LSU stars and two of the best in football sounds like something Burrow would do during a so-called break.
