Cincinnati Bengals players had an unexpected visitor this week when Vice President JD Vance attended practice.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters that team president Mike Brown told him at the start of practice that Vance would be visiting.
According to Local 12’s Yanni Tragellis, Burrow didn’t get a chance to meet with Vance because “he left with swiftness and efficiency before the end of practice so I didn’t get to,” but otherwise said that the whole thing was a good example of why he enjoys the job so much.
"A lot of people around," Burrow said. "That's what I love about what I do is it brings a lot of people together. And people want to take time out of their day to come and watch what we do, and watch what I do and watch all the work
that I put in to come and watch greatness. Everybody in the locker room that's why we do what we do."
This clip from WLWT’s Charlie Clifford, though, went super viral as it displayed Vance’s interaction with some of the players outside the locker rooms:
