Before his Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Cleveland Browns to end the season on a sour note, Joe Burrow had some headline-worthy things to say about Browns rookie passer Shedeur Sanders.
Burrow kept that same energy after the game during postgame handshakes.
Now fans can get a glimpse of what Burrow told Sanders thanks to on-field footage.
“You’re fun to watch,” Burrow said. “You’re fun to watch. Look forward to watching you next year.”

Before the game, Burrow had noted that Sanders had handled an immense level of scrutiny thrown at a fifth-round pick very well.
On the field itself, Sanders spent his rookie year appearing in eight games, completing 56.6 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Hard to say if Sanders is in the plans as a top option for the Browns next year after they hire a new head coach. Oddly enough, Burrow’s offensive coordinator, Dan Pitcher, is a candidate.
Either way, Burrow clearly holds Sanders in high regard.
