The former head coach was excited to see Burton selected by Cincinnati.
Duke Tobin and the Cincinnati Bengals front office have given Joe Burrow another weapon after selecting Alabama’s Jermaine Burton in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

There have been some jabs toward that culture with a few trade requests, but Burton couldn’t have landed at a better spot than Cincinnati with quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver coach Troy Walters.
