Legendary defensive end JJ Watt spent time in Cincinnati, offering his thoughts on the Cincinnati Bengals and their quarterback Joe Burrow. Watt, a minority investor in English soccer club Burnley FC, visited the city as his team played FC Cincinnati at TQL Stadium.
Watt discussed the defensive moves the Bengals have made this offseason, including the acquisition of defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence via trade. "Huge, obviously, that defense is the area that they want to and need to improve the most," Watt said. "When you have a quarterback like Joe Burrow, you have a chance in this league."
Watt had praise for the city of Cincinnati, saying he feels connected to the area. "I feel like I have a kinship with Cincinnati over the years, probably early on not for good reasons and then later on, we had some fun with it," Watt said. "For some reason, the Bengals, the city of Cincinnati and myself have kind of been intertwined my whole career."
