Joe Burrow Revealed What His First Expense Will Be Post-Contract and It's Pretty Baller
By Michael Luciano
The Cincinnati Bengals made LSU superstar Joe Burrow their next franchise quarterback when they used the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on the former Bayou Bengal.
Rather than use his first bit of pro contract money on a flashy new car or a place to live, however, Burrow is using it to hire a chef to get his body primed and ready for a beating at the NFL level.
Joe Burrow said he's "leaned out" a lot the last few weeks. Said one of the first things he's going to do is get a chef. Said he wants to put some muscle on before the season starts.

Sounds a lot more practical than Ryan Leaf heading to Vegas right after he was picked. Burrow is already doing and saying all the right things.
Burrow is expected to take over the QB1 job from Andy Dalton, as accounting for 65 touchdowns, winning the Heisman, and winning a national championship in your final college season is a good way to introduce yourself. Part of why rookies struggle in the NFL is a lack of maturity and difficulties handling the day-to-day grind of the NFL. Burrow, however, seems to have all that down pat.

One of the few minor criticisms of Burrow was the fact that he's a bit on the skinny side. If he can add about 10 pounds of muscle with the help of his chef, which should aid his arm strength and durability, the Bengals could be well on their way towards getting back to the playoffs in due time.
