That’s the text message new
Cincinnati Bengalsoffensive tackle La’el Collins sent to
Joe Burrowon Sunday after
agreeing to his three-year contract with the team.
Collins had an in-house media session with the Bengals after signing the deal, which locks him in as the starting right tackle for the next three seasons in front of Burrow.
As the story goes,
Burrow played a key role this weekend in Cincinnati recruiting and hosting Collins. And Sunday, he apparently texted Collins asking if the offensive tackle had signed on the dotted line.
Collins sent Burrow back the following, per
Marisa Contipelli of the team’s website: “Your new bodyguard is in town, no one’s touching you.”
