Mike Gesicki Amazed by Burrow's Talent In the Bengals Huddle!

A Fresh Start With Top-Notch Talent

Tight end sensation Mike Gesicki is turning heads in Cincinnati, especially with his recent praise for the Bengals' star quarterback, Joe Burrow. Gesicki, who has a history with numerous QBs in his six years on the field, is all-in on Burrow’s exceptional talent, stating, "I’ve never been in a huddle with that kind of talent."

"He's been great. He's been somebody I've been able to reach out to and have conversations with," quotes Gesicki from the team website.

However, their play-making magic on the field is on hold – Burrow’s nursing a wrist injury that benched him last season. But hope runs high in the Bengals' camp, banking on Gesicki’s potential to supercharge an offense that's been craving a TE dynamo.

Gesicki: The Missing Puzzle Piece for Bengals' Offense?

The Bengals have struggled to find a tight end breaking the 500-yard mark in Burrow's tenure, with last year's top TE barely scraping past 350 yards. Position coach James Casey sees Gesicki’s arrival as the key to unlocking Burrow’s rich passing arsenal even further. His ability to cross the field with speed could give Cincinnati the edge they've been looking for.

"It gives you flexibility when you feel like you have an above-average pass catcher at tight end," Casey expresses.

Gesicki's stats tell a story of capability, with two seasons over 700 receiving yards, and a career-high 73 receptions in 2021 ranking him fifth among TEs. After a dip during his final stretch with Miami and a brief stint in New England amidst struggles, the 29-year-old is keen to prove that with Burrow's throws, he’ll regain his prowess.

As the Bengals prepare for their offseason workout program starting April 15, fans are equally eager to see this new connection unfold. "New team, new staff, new quarterback. Everything is new for me," Gesicki says with an eye on the future.

With that kind of outlook, the Bengals' huddle might just be where Gesicki's fresh start aligns with Burrow’s comeback, spelling exciting times ahead for Cincy football fanatics!
