Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow isn’t a stranger to a tricky throw or going viral for pretty much anything these days.
Oft times, it’s a combination of the two.
One of those times popped up on Tuesday when Burrow took on an interesting drill at Bengals practice in which he dodged massive medicine balls bounced in his direction before firing off passes.
And one of those passes sure appeared to be a no-look dart fired at Trenton Iriwin, who hauled it in just fine.
Given the rules about contact and time of year, it’s no wonder real players aren’t rushing down Burrow in the pocket. Still, it’s pretty fun to see the workaround teams come up with for these scenarios during reps.
Here’s a look at the drill, courtesy of Fox 19’s Joe Danneman:
