After dominating the field as part of the Ohio State Buckeyes, Joe Burrow played for the LSU Tigers. His incredible talent led him to win the Heisman Trophy and the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship as a senior. Later, he was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals as the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and the team never looked back.
Now, while the star QB undergoes ‘challenging’ contract ‘extension’ negotiations with the team, he has taken up promotions of his other ‘collaborations.’ Recently, #9 starred with Barstool Sports on Tuesday as he promoted the BodyArmor Sports Drink through a parody, which brought his new side to the fans.

The NFL season is fast approaching, and with their match just 16 days away, their star quarterback has recently revealed his preparations for it in an interview for a brand. This promotional interview was a result of the Bengals’ #QB1 Joe Burrow’s new endorsement deal with Body Armor, a famous sports drink brand. The partnership will involve Joe B in national advertising campaigns, local retail events, and digital and social media promotions. Though, even with his decision to sign this deal, he has kept his focus straight and given his everything to his philanthropic work and football career. But his engagement in this recent parody made fans see a new side of him.

In his latest fun sponsored video with host and “quarterback correspondent” Caleb Pressley, Joe is seen in a matching white. Joe adorned a two-piece white sweatsuit adorned with the Body Armor logo whilst Caleb sported a white collared shirt with a red-neck tie. Earlier in the video, Caleb asked the QB why he doesn’t just wear a jacket and drink a few beers to warm up before a big game. “I don’t know that,” said a chuckling awkward-looking Joe.

By the end of the video, Joey B was seen showing off his basketball skills. The Quarterback quickly sank four shots in a row as he ‘talked with ease’ about his roughly 400 pounds lift. After all, Burrow had his ‘real competitive advantage’ with him: “drinking BodyArmor.” He told Pressley how “It tastes good. It’s got the right stuff in it. I like to put stuff in my body that’s going to help me perform.” Now, with this endorsement deal and his ace-like last season, Burrow is in the spotlight. Now with his extension, will the Bengals face a ‘challenge’ in his negotiations?

The contract extensions are up for the Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals are geared up for some significant contract negotiations with their top players. The team’s star quarterback Joe Burrow, wide receiver Tee Higgins, and linebacker Logan Wilson are all up for extensions this year. All the deals are crucial to seal as ‘they’re like a piece of the pie,’ per Bengals president Mike Brown. He even set his priorities straight, as he mentioned in an interview how the 26-year-old would be the team’s first concern.
He candidly said, “Think of the cap as a pie. Once you take out one piece, there’s less left for the next guy. It’s impossible to fit everyone in at the rate they wish they could be paid. But the team will make sure Joe [Burrow], Ja’Marr [Chase], and Tee [Higgins] get a slice of pie.” Yet both parties remain tight-lipped on the deal. After all, this deal could make Burrow league’s highest paid passer. This is also exciting as the season game is just days away, and with Burrow’s Mahomes style ‘team-friendliness’ the team is gearing up for his fourth year in the NFL.
