Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow took a break after practice with his girlfriend, Olivia Ponton, on the training camp field.
The Bengals have been at training camp for the last two weeks, with Sunday being their ninth practice day.
After Chargers QB Justin Herbert and Madison Beer were spotted having an intimate moment on the training camp field last week, it seems other top QBs around the league are taking notice.
Olivia Ponton attends Bengals’ training camp and shares a moment with Joe Burrow
Burrow’s girlfriend, influencer and model Olivia Ponton, was present for day nine of training camp and took the field after practice ended to share a moment with her boyfriend.
Unlike the Herbert-Beer situation, where Beer attended training camp because that day had been opened to all family members, no other family members reportedly attended the practice outside of Ponton.
This training camp day was also not accessible to the public, so Ponton likely just attended this specific day to show support to Burrow.
Fans didn’t like seeing Joe Burrow and his girlfriend on the field
After the backlash Herbert and Beer received for doing the same in a practice open to family members, Burrow and Ponton are receiving similarly negative comments.
“They tryna be Madison Beer and Justin Herbert,” said one fan, implying this was a move for attention.
“This is soft QB1 behavior. Significant others don’t belong on the job in sports. You’re there to do a job. Terrible message to send to the locker room,” said one very angry fan.
“People who say this is irrelevant are kidding themselves. Unserious organization, unserious QB,” said another angry fan.
“Nah, the way y’all grilled Herbert… Let’s keep that same energy,” said a fan who wanted consistency in how these players are treated by fans.
“Our generation of top 5 QBs cupcaking with their boos on the gridiron,” said another disappointed fan.
The Bengals might be legitimate AFC contenders this season, but they have a long way to go before they can call themselves Super Bowl contenders.
A healthy Burrow can unlock the likes of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, provided the Bengals enjoy good health and have a defense that can back their offensive production.
