LeBron James has huge praise for Joe Burrow after Bengals QB throws 1st TD

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw his first pro touchdown pass Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns.

Naturally, Burrow saved his first pro passing score for primetime against an in-state rival with the world watching.

And one of those watching was Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.

James kept it short and sweet while kicking back and watching the game: “Burrow is SPECIAL! He has the “IT” for sure.”

Hard to argue with that point — Burrow had some rookie growing pains in Week 1 and well into Thursday’s game (like a snap going for a 22-yard loss while he tried to call for a timeout).

But his first pro touchdown pass? An absolute dime. The King has spoken.
