Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow surprised his offensive line with authentic Japanese Katana swords as gifts. Burrow, inspired by a 'weapon mindset,' sought out unique swords with backstories for each player. The gesture has been met with enthusiasm, with tackle Orlando Brown praising the swords as 'the most ancient form of respect.'
If it was up to Joe Burrow ’s teammates, his gift to them may have been a little bit different than the authentic Japanese Katana swords he gave them. “I was in the weapon mindset, and I was like, ‘what’s a cool weapon? Samurai swords, I think, are pretty dang cool.'”The Bengals quarterback allowed each one of his linemen to select their own sword which came with its own unique backstory.
Tackle Orlando Brown had raved about the gift to The Athletic after Burrow had gifted the swords to them. For the moment it seems to be all smiles in Cincy as the Bengals have managed to keep their slim playoff hopes alive after winning three straight, which includes Sunday’s 24-6 victory over the Browns.
