A young Joe Burrow talks about transitioning from receiver to quarterback

CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has quickly emerged as a leader in the locker room during training camp. 

The 23-year-old wasn't always a quarterback. In fact, he played wide receiver and defensive back in high school. 

The 3 a.m. Coney podcast sent me a video of a young Burrow being interviewed about the transition from receiver to quarterback. Watch it below.

Joey B wasn’t supposed to be a QB in high school 🤔

“I was anticipating being a WR... I just stepped in and did the best I could at QB.” - @JoeyB @FauxJeaux

His stats that season - 3,239yds 47 TD/8 INT - and the first playoff win in school history 🤷‍♂️
