Joe Burrow has revealed he landed on buying his offensive linemen samurai swords as Christmas gifts as a compromise from what they really wanted from their quarterback Santa - guns. Burrow rejected the idea of firearms as gifts but got the vibes of what those who protect him at practices and every Sunday wanted. The signal caller found a way to not sacrifice his principles and still make the big boys happy.

After last Thursday's practice, Burrow presented the authentic Japanese Katana swords. Each sword has a unique design and comes with a back story from a certain town or battle, per The Athletic. Burrow put them each in a room and let the linemen pick theirs out. There's no word for those who were married what their wives' reactions were to coming home with a weapon.
'I was like, "I don't know about guns, guys,"' Burrow revealed. 'And, so, I was in the weapon mindset, and I was like, "What's a cool weapon?" And Samurai swords, I think, are pretty dang cool. I think guys were excited about it.'. Joe Burrow explained the decision to buy his linemen samurai swords as Christmas presents.
The linemen have given glowing reviews of the presents, as Burrow handed them out last week. Burrow revealed he had someone on his team find the swords and get them delivered to his house in time for the holidays. The reception from the Bengals' linemen of the gift? Glowing reviews any Etsy seller would dream of.
