The Cincinnati Bengals had a special guest at practice on Wednesday as vice president JD Vance made the trip to see the team and meet the players. The only problem with that second part is that it ignores every player going off the field.
The only player who stopped to shake hands was TE Drew Sample, who may have been caught because he reached out to greet Vance’s son, then realized the vice president was standing there, and shook his hand. Maybe some players said something to the VP, but it’s not clear from this video that anyone did. QB Josh Johnson on the practice squad gave Vance a slight nod when he passed, but that was the only player who believed in Vance’s existence.
Joe Burrow was asked if he had a chance to meet the VP in the post-practice presser.
“We didn’t. We didn’t. He came with everyone and left before the practice was over, quick and efficient. So I didn’t get there.”
Burrow went on to say that people want to come to practice to watch the team, but the answer was clear Dripping In the subtitle. Even in an election cycle, it is unusual for a politician to come to football practice. A game, sure – but we’re talking about practice.
