As the Cincinnati Bengals officially report to training camp to begin preparations for the 2026 regular season, former LSU teammate Breiden Fehoko has offered some colorful advice for those returning to the field. Fehoko, who played alongside quarterback Joe Burrow during their time with the LSU Tigers, took to social media to share a message for his former colleagues. "Prayers to all my brothers heading into training camp today. Control your camp eyes. That lunch lady don’t look that good," the former defensive lineman quipped.
Fehoko frequently highlights Burrow’s competitive nature, often referencing their historic, unbeaten national championship season at LSU, which culminated in a victory over the Clemson Tigers. Following his college career, Fehoko played professionally for the Los Angeles Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers before announcing his retirement in 2025.
The Bengals enter the new campaign looking to rebound after missing the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. The team finished the 2025 schedule with a 6-11 record. Despite these challenges, team owner Mike Brown has reaffirmed his commitment to the current leadership, confirming that both coach Zac Taylor and Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin will remain with the franchise. "Our focus is on building a team that can consistently compete at the highest level, with the goal of winning championships," Brown stated. "They have proven they can build and lead teams that compete for championships. We trust their plans and expect to return to our desired level of success."
Joe Burrow, the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, previously led the Bengals to playoff appearances in two of his first three seasons. His tenure included a notable run to Super Bowl LVI, where the team fell to the Los Angeles Rams, and an appearance in the 2022 conference championship game, which resulted in a 23–20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. As the team looks to move past its recent struggles, the Bengals have scheduled preseason matchups against the Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, and Philadelphia Eagles before opening their regular season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
