Joe Burrow Welcomes Familiar Face to Bengals Training Camp
Joe Burrow Welcomes Familiar Face to Bengals Training Camp originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Joe Burrow is embedded as the starting quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals. There's no debate about that. Thanks to his time at LSU, where he won a national championship and a Heisman Trophy, he's already cemented himself as one of the best in the NFL. But few know he almost didn't go to LSU when he left Ohio State. LSU was just one of two finalists for him when he decided to depart from Columbus. The other was the University of Cincinnati. Burrow ultimately chose Baton Rouge, and that opened the door for another quarterback to start and excel at Cincinnati for the Bearcats: Desmond Ridder. Now, Burrow and Ridder will be teammates with the Bengals, as they've signed the former Bearcat to compete for the backup quarterback spot. Jake Browning has been the primary backup to Burrow since 2021, but now that Ridder is in town, that could change. Ridder was a third-round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons back in 2022, but never lived up to the hype he received out of Cincinnati. He spent the offseason in 2024 with the Arizona Cardinals before signing with the Las Vegas Raiders last season. Across four seasons with the Bearcats from 2018-21, Ridder passed for 10,239 yards with a 62.1 completion percentage and 87 touchdowns to 28 interceptions. He also carried the ball 501 times for 2,180 yards and another 28 scores. Since 2022, Ridder has made 18 starts in 25 appearances and thrown for 4,002 yards and 16 touchdowns to 14 interceptions with a 63.6 completion percentage. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Big 12 football helmets ranked before the 2025 season
Big 12 football helmets ranked before the 2025 season Where does Colorado's iconic black and gold rank? While other sports treat headwear designs as an afterthought, football is left alone as a sport that puts meaningful thought into the design of its helmets. From the ram horn design worn first by the Los Angeles Rams to the tiger stripes of the Cincinnati Bengals, this effort has created some of the most iconic looks in sports history. The Big 12 Conference is no exception to this rule and carries a strong history of exceptional helmets. So, after we ranked every team's home and away uniform sets, let's dive deeper and rank each of the conference's 16 helmets from worst to first. 16. Baylor Bears Baylor kicks off this list for two reasons: their interlocking lettering logo is boring, and the helmet does nothing to help save it. It's the first of many "this is just a logo on a plain color helmet" looks, which I carry disdain for. Baylor, please bring back the Sailor Bear logo full-time. 15. Houston Cougars Houston has a slightly more interesting interlocking letter logo, which moves them higher than Baylor, but this look is flat-out lame. The white facemask helps, but the program is in desperate need of a uniform refresh to breathe some new life into the football program. 14. West Virginia Mountaineers Another victim of having just their logo on their helmet, West Virginia gets points thanks to their color scheme and more iconic logo. The black facemask throws me for a loop, and the lack of a yellow stripe is disappointing. With so many better looks in their arsenal, like their logo in the state outline, it's just a travesty that the Mountaineers are subjected to this boring helmet. 13. Cincinnati Bearcats Once again, I am begging Cincinnati to do anything with their Bearcat name. While the logo is decent and the all-black look is sleek, this helmet is forgettable as they come. It does the job, but the wasted potential and lack of unique elements mean the Bearcats can't stack up against the rest of the Big 12. 12. Iowa State Cyclones Wow, another monochromatic helmet with just the school's logo, how daring of Iowa State. With as unique a name as Cyclones and the untapped Cardinal logo, looking at this helmet makes me sad. Merely changing the decal would do wonders for this helmet, as Iowa State's color scheme is enjoyable, but this logo isn't it. 11. BYU Cougars BYU has two white center stripes on its helmet, which immediately vaulted it above the rest of the helmets on this list. The bright blue from the shiny helmet and the flat white in the decals work like peanut butter and jelly, a rock-solid look. Much like peanut butter and jelly, though, this helmet isn't anything special, keeping the Cougars lower on the list. 10. Arizona Wildcats Arizona's helmet nails the perfect, most boring helmet of all time. The red, white, and blue work fantastically together, and the two-tone stripes are a welcome addition to match their main logo. The Wildcats fall victim to using their letter logo on the helmet as opposed to a more elaborate design, which they've proven capable of. 9. TCU Horned Frogs The Horned Frogs should be No. 1 on this list; their giant chrome Horned Frog helmet is right up my alley, but their current look is lackluster. The wordmark with the chrome Horned Frog logo is beautiful, but the matte purple helmet and black facemask don't pop and hurt the look overall. Until justice is done for what the school did to its look, nine is as high as this helmet can go. 8. UCF Knights As I said in my home uniform rankings, UCF excels at incorporating its Knights namesake into its uniform. The sword-shaped stripe is the cherry on top of a stellar helmet, which now sports a white UCF logo, giving their helmet a little more pop and definition than most others in the conference. 7. Texas Tech Red Raiders Texas Tech is the gold standard of interlocking logo helmets, with exceptional use of white to accentuate their menacing red and black look. The Red Raiders' use of a shiny black helmet and facemask makes this like the Death Star of Big 12 helmets, it's just cool. 6. Kansas State Wildcats The Wildcats rock a traditional look, which already gets points for being the first helmet on this list that doesn't feature a letter. The color scheme works perfectly to create an iconic and unique look for the school. The Wildcat logo does get a little lost without an outline, and I'll always advocate for more sailor hat logos to return, but this is a great helmet. 5. Utah Utes While it uses a letter, Utah's use of its "circle and feather" logo and its ties to the indigenous culture of the Utes keep this helmet ranked high. The use of red, black and white is common in the Big 12 but is done a bit differently here, which helps the helmet stand out above the rest. With the school beginning to lean toward its interlocking "UU" logo for most sports, this look might be gone soon, so let's appreciate it while it's here. 4. Arizona State Sun Devils Why Arizona State has opted to use its secondary pitchfork logo on its helmets continues to boggle my mind. Ditching the iconic look of Sparky the Sun Devil is a monumental mistake and hurts their ranking, but I'm not blind. The eye-catching yellow is still outstanding, and the pitchfork logo does enough to make this look distinct to keep it ranked high. 3. Oklahoma State Cowboys The world is a better place with more script helmets in it, and I appreciate Oklahoma State doing its part. The Cowboys' bright orange pairs beautifully with the western-esque type to create an outstanding helmet that instantly improves any uniform combination. This look pays homage to the past and plays into the culture of Oklahoma, I can't ask for much more. 2. Colorado Buffaloes The Colorado Buffalo logo does much of the heavy lifting for this helmet, but it's such an outstanding look. The shiny gold base allows the interlocking "CU" to shine behind the leaping Buffalo, giving the helmet some forward motion. Describing the helmet feels like poetry, it does everything a football helmet should do and more. 1. Kansas Jayhawks Kansas is one of the only schools in the Big 12 that embraces its goofy, stylized logo and I love this helmet for that reason. The Jayhawk is gigantic and truly one-of-a-kind; the look reminds me of what college sports are all about: passion and fun.
