Olivia Ponton Gives Major Assist to Joe Burrow

 

But while Burrow and the Bengals were duking things out on the field, his house was being robbed. According to TMZ, the criminals broke into Burrow's house through a window. But thankfully Sports Illustrated model Olivia Ponton was there to lend Burrow a neighborly assist and called the police to his home while the robbery was in progress.

 

"Olivia Ponton — a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model who boasts nearly eight million followers on TikTok — was the one who reported the burglary at Joe Burrow's Ohio home to cops," TMZ wrote.

 

"In the documents, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office wrote Ponton called in the break-in at around 8:14 PM — as 28-year-old Burrow was in the middle of his "Monday Night Football" clash with the Dallas Cowboys in Texas."

Justin Jefferson Gets Honest on Bengals Star Duo

 

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has quickly become one of the more highly-touted names in the NFL. But he was a star way before he arrived in Cincinnati. Once upon a time, he was the star quarterback for the LSU Tigers. He led the squad to a 15-0 record and an NCAA National Championship in 2019.

 

Burrow wasn't the only star for that team. So were his two favorite targets, Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase. All three players were selected in the 2019 NFL Draft. Jefferson was among the highly scouted receivers in the draft so he came off the board early. But as fate would have it the Bengals were able to draft chase reuniting the two former LSU stars in Cincinnati.

 

Jefferson says that he is happy to see his former teammates continuing their journey together. However, he admits to being slightly jealous.

"I love them together, I love the chemistry that they have with each other, but it's definitely some jealousy on that side," Jefferson said.
