Joe Burrow tweeted out a proper gif to celebrate his Bengals drafting LSU receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
The Cincinnati Bengals need a ton of help on offense to support last year’s No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow. The quarterback is still recovering from a leg injury, leading some fans to project the Bengals to draft an offensive lineman.
The team went in a different direction by taking LSU receiver Ja’Marr Chase with the No. 5 overall pick. Burrow seemed to be thrilled with the pick and tweeted out his excitement soon after the selection.
Joe Burrow thrilled to throw to Ja’Marr Chase once again
Chase sat out the 2020 season because of COVID-19 after have a monster year in 2019 with Burrow throwing him the football. The receiver finished with 84 receptions for 1,780 yards and 20 touchdowns.
He was a key player who helped Burrow win the Heisman and shows up to Cincinnati as the new top target in town with A.J. Green now in Arizona. Maybe Burrow has MVP dreams now that his top target is back with him as a running mate.
The Bengals now need to focus on beefing up the offensive line as well so when Burrow returns he actually has time to throw the ball to his former LSU teammate. That would warrant a thread of gifs to celebrate.
