Jermaine Burton gets love from Chad Johnson and TJ Houshmandzadeh

The Cincinnati Bengals addressed another position group that needed some reinforcements in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

With pick number 80, the Bengals selected Alabama wide receiver Jermaine Burton.

Burton has had some off-the-field issues that caused him to fall way down draft boards, but if a team can provide the right culture, the guy can flat-out play and contribute immediately.

The Bengals have built one of the best cultures in the NFL with head coach Zac Taylor and quarterback Joe Burrow. Cincinnati also has one of the best WR rooms in the league and a fantastic WR coach in Troy Walters.
