Joe Burrow Admits He Actually Grew up a Bandwagon Browns Fan in Ohio

Joe Burrow is a winner. In the past six months, the kid has recorded a 15-0 season with LSU, brought home a College Football Playoff National Championship, and is getting ready to be taken No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft.

While it's been an incredible ride for him, it turns out he's suffered plenty off the field in terms of his favorite football team. The man loves...the Browns?

At the NFL Combine this week, Burrow is meeting with reporters, and clearly answering the tough questions. Here's one from us: why in the world would he switch from rooting for the Saints to Cleveland? Just to make his high school friends happy?

While the Browns have brought in guys like Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr. of late to try and take things to the next level, 2019 showed us once again this franchise may just be cursed. They went from postseason hopefuls to finishing the year with a 6-10 record, losing their final three games of the campaign.

Joe Burrow said he was a Vikings fan as a young kid, liked the Saints because of Reggie and Drew, then was a Browns fan for a bit living in Ohio. “I was kind of a bandwagon fan,” he said

This makes a bit more sense since he lived in Ohio, but aren't bandwagon fans supposed to like good teams? Where's the Seahawks and Patriots on this list?

Fortunately for Burrow, he can forget about all the other teams, because it looks like his luck has changed and he'll now be getting ready to play for the -- checks notes on who has the No. 1 overall pick and faints -- Cincinnati Bengals. Calm down, Cincy. He'll be able to seamlessly bandwagon your team soon enough!
