Nick Scott reveals his first impressions of Bengals QB Joe Burrow

Joe Burrow is one of those guys who has a way of leaving an impression on folks he encounters — which includes free agents who just joined the Cincinnati Bengals.

Take safety Nick Scott, one of the guys who came over to help after the departures of Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell.

Scott says his first impressions of Burrow were a little varied.

“An interesting mix,” Scott said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “A little on the quiet side. You can tell he’s real intense, real focused. But he’s got that steady leadership demeanor. You can tell the guys lean on him and respect him.”

Don’t worry — Scott shared his on-field impressions of Burrow, too now that he’s lining up against him every day, not just in the Super Bowl against him while playing for the Los Angeles Rams.

“Just glancing over there, he’s got a hell of an arm zipping it in there. All the faith in the world in that dude,” Scott said. “He’s got it. Whatever it is, he’s got it. The whole league knows that. We know that. (This spring) has definitely reinforced it.”

It gets thrown around probably a little too much in sports from outsiders, but if it applies to only a few, Burrow is probably one of them.
