3 Bengal players fans would love to see playing for the Steelers

The Cincinnati Bengals have some promising star talent in the making. Here are three players I would love to snatch for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It is no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers have very little proven depth at positions of need as of right now, but the Bengals have players that would fit perfectly into a starting role, and they would be helpful for this week’s matchup.

QB Joe Burrow

The most obvious choice is the Bengals quarterback and 2020 first overall pick Joe Burrow, who the Steelers have only faced once. Despite tearing his ACL through his possible ORTY campaign, Joe Burrow had 199 passing attempts without an interception, then he threw 3 interceptions against the Bears in Week 2.

Burrow is what Big Ben was during his prime, a tall, accurate quarterback who extends plays in the backfield and who threw a lot. If Joe Burrow was on the Steelers, there wouldn’t be a lot of deep passes because of his lack of arm strength, but the chains would be moved more consistently because he is very good at finding the open receiver and putting the ball in their hands.

The Steelers do have offensive weapons that can create separation, for the most part, so when Burrow is extending the play with his legs he can throw to an open receiver. Burrow is a great quarterback to have for the future, he is 24 years old with tons of room to improve his arm strength, and even did in this past offseason,  he is another tall-bodied gunslinger to have behind center, which is two of Pittsburgh’s preferred quarterback traits.
