The Cincinnati Bengals expanded their reputation for taking on “character issues” with WR Jermaine Burton in the third round. So far this season, their latest gamble is not paying off. With two receptions (albeit for 88 yards), he is living in the doghouse.
And Burton appears to be grating on his teammates as well, while doing himself no favors. The Bengals made him a healthy scratch last week after he skipped a walkthrough, and he showed little accountability for it. Asked about it in various ways, he simply repeated he has to do better.
