I think Burrow is gonna be a great NFL quarterback.

I think it's important, whether it be learning from how a guy takes care of his body, how a guy studies, how a guy is a mentor, how a guy is a leader, you take bits and pieces that fit the person you are and you don't try to be somebody you're not.

When the Broncos or the Steelers are winning everybody wants defense. When the Rams and Saints are scoring 50 points a game, it seems everybody is looking for a young offensive mind.

In order to win in the NFL... you've got to be desperate to win a championship.

When you have to worry about some idiot making the decision on a roster move, or hiring coaches, or some of the stuff you have to worry about... when you have that added pressure and stress of not trusting the organization and knowing that they don't know what they're doing, that's just an added amount of stress you don't need as a young player.

8-8 is like winning the Super Bowl for the organization in Cincinnati.

I mean that's most guys' dream is to play for their childhood team.

I'm a wide-open book. I talk to guys coming out in the draft every year. I'm a wide-open book. I'll give you my experiences. And I'll tell you what I went through. But I would never project on another player that you should do this or you should do that.

I'm a Hall of Famer at retirement.

I'm great at retirement. I'm excelling at retirement... I've loved every second of it.
