After playing for 6 different schools in 8 years of HS and college, it's not Burton isn't used to different uniforms and jersey numbers. His number was #3 at Alabama and #7 at Georgia. Who even knows what his numbers were with his HS teams.

 

I'm sure it's just a weird coincidence, but the only 2 of the 10 draft picks to get their college jersey numbers in Cincinnati were both TEs.

First the Bengals put that boring B in the center of the new field

then they give this guy number 81 rather than 3.

They can be such a buzz kill sometimes.  I expected more from the Pumpkinettes.

 

Same - meh on the B and I wouldn't thought that Burton would get a single number. Maybe he asked for it, I dunno. 'Course, Tee didn't get 5 at first but I don't remember if someone had it at the time.

Zac pounded his chair out of excitement when taking Burton …

 

Did he? Or are some of Burton’s anger issues already rubbing off on the team … 🤔 

Really excited about this guy.

I want to say 85 was Eifert’s number? 

On the obvious talent and risk 

 

OK...

"Later, it became a full-blown trend with electric Alabama wideout Jermaine Burton in the third round despite the well-documented character concerns."

Yeah, hearing this a lot but... WHAT character concerns?

Smaking some coed bimbo up side the head was stupid but

what ELSE?

 

I still hope the team switches his # to 3 ...

 

I like the "murder" intensity 🔪 

 

Not sure how the Bengals missed this area code assignment ... 

 

A Burton feature ...

When Tee Higgins looks over his shoulder, he sees Jermaine Burton.

Pity... I really like Tee but his agent's mouth may have drawn likes that

Tee unfortunately crossed.

I don't think Higgins is worried about Burton. Higgins is almost exclusively an outside WR. Assuming both Chase and Higgins are healthy, Gesicki and Burton figure to spend most of their time in the slot. If the Bengals want to put Chase in the slot, then Burton could easily line up outside with Higgins. And when Higgins becomes a free agent after next season, then Burton will likely become most an outside receiver. It's why the Bengals chose Burton over Roman Wilson who went 2 picks later...Wilson is a slot WR in the way that Tyler Boyd was.

First look in stripes 🐯

That wasn't the case (12 per) last season with JC1..

I believe it was as significant dropoff to 8 ...
