Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> quarterback Joe Burrow has been all over the place so far this offseason, popping up at NFL and plenty of non-NFL events.<\/p>\n

A fun way to look at things? Burrow is sending a little message that he\u2019s locked in for next season.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s something floated recently by former player Rodney McLeod during an appearance on Good Morning Football.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem like he\u2019s taken a break since the season ended. He got that call to the Pro Bowl and he\u2019s just climbed,\u201d McLeod said. \u201cHe’s been putting us on notice.\u00a0“<\/p>\n

The full clip:<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a funny way to look at things, too: Burrow showed up late to the Pro Bowl, almost as if the NFL called in a favor for its flailing All-Star game. And now he was at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, almost acting as an ambassador of sorts for the league.<\/p>\n

Thinking outside the box here, what if Burrow\u2019s becoming an ambassador and face of the NFL in hopes of a call or two here and there from referees that he might not normally get? Or perhaps it swings a primetime or international game appearance for his Bengals<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Just a thought. Burrow said he wants to have fun with football\u2026and very clearly is. And he certainly looks locked in. The other possible benefits don\u2019t hurt, either.<\/p>\n
