Bengals’ Joe Burrow explains why he opted for samurai sword gifts for teammates: ‘They wanted guns’

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow gifted his offensive lineman with samurai swords for Christmas as they have helped protect him better than most seasons since he’s been the starter.

Burrow let each of the linemen pick out a sword. ESPN noted that some of the swords date back to the 1500s. Following his three-touchdown performance against the Cleveland Browns, Burrow explained why he opted for samurai swords over cars, watches or something else.

“Well, they wanted guns,” he said. “And I was like, ‘I don’t know about guns, guys.’ So I was in the weapon mindset, and I was like, ‘What’s a cool weapon?’ Samurai swords, I think, are pretty dang cool.”

Bengals offensive lineman Alex Cappa told ESPN last week that the gift was one of the best he’s ever received.

“My favorite gift I’ve ever gotten by far because it’s so different,” he said.
