Bengals QB Joe Burrow Shares Big Revelation About Himself
Cara Owsley/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are hoping to get back on track in 2024 and get back to being one of the most feared contenders in the AFC. The Bengals and Burrow faced a brutal 2023 season that saw the star quarterback deal with a calf injury early in the year and then miss the rest of the campaign due to a hand injury. They are hoping that they catch some good fortune this year.

During the 2023 campaign, Burrow was only able to play in 10 games. He completed 66.8 percent of his pass attempts for 2,309 yards, 15 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Those numbers were not what the Bengals have come to know and expect from their star quarterback.

While the last year has been very disappointing for the Bengals, they are primed for a rebound in 2024.

Looking ahead to the 2024 NFL season, Burrow spoke out and made a major revelation about himself. He has bulked up and is looking to rebuild his body to be able to stay healthier moving forward.

“I’m eating more, I’m more dialed as far as nutrition and food schedule and eating when I need to. That’s been a big area of emphasis for me and I’ve seen the results. We’re bigger. Definitely bigger. We’ll see where I’m at at the end of the offseason. I feel good about where my body is at right now.”

What To Expect From Bengals QB Joe Burrow In 2024

Needless to say, the Bengals should be excited and very happy about what Burrow has now revealed.

They have seen their star quarterback struggle through quite a few injury issues over the last four years. He has been able to play through most of them, but their future is at stake every time Burrow gets banged up.

It’s also clear that Joe Burrow is sick and tired of dealing with nagging injuries. He’s focusing more on taking care of his body to prepare for the wear and tear of an NFL season more than he has in previous years.

So, with all of that being said, what should we expect from the Bengals’ star quarterback this season?

We are predicting that Burrow will end up playing in all 17 regular season games. Our predictions also have him throwing for 4,500 yards, 34 touchdowns, and just 11 interceptions. Also, he will lead the Bengals back to the playoffs and will have them looking like a legitimate contender once again.

The roster around Burrow is talented and ready to make some noise. If the star quarterback himself can get his body to a better level, the sky is the limit for them. It will be very interesting to see what Burrow and the Bengals are able to do during the 2024 NFL season with his new focus on staying healthy and getting his body right.
