Bengals QB Joe Burrow is getting reps in with Odell Beckham this weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will finally throw passes to wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in a somewhat-professional format over the weekend. During a flag football event, of course.

Burrow and Beckham will take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on Saturday. Some clips of the two linking up on the field have already started to go viral on social media. The LSU Tigers posted one: The @JoeyB to @obj connection ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ Tune in to the @Fanatics Flag Football Classic Saturday at 3pm CT on FOX!

So, fun ideas for fans aside, not worth an extended conversation. For what itโ€™s worth, though, the Bengals do have a sneaky need at third wideout this offseason after Andrei Iosviasโ€™ struggles at times last year. That would explain why a recent tweet from DeAndre Hopkins had Bengals fans buzzing , too.
