The Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday unveiled their brand-new, state-of-the-art locker room with a series of pictures and two videos of players touring the facility. 

Quarterback Joe Burrow marveled over the fact that his corner locker is right next to a refrigerator; wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase commented on the increased space; and center Ted Karras showed off the new features of the individual lockers, including a ventilated storage rack for shoulder pads, personal cleat-driers, a lock-box charging station, and additional storage space for tape, supplements, and shoes.

"It's sick. The more we continue to invest in stuff like this, the more comfortable the players are going to be," Burrow said. "We're going to love coming into work. I'm really happy with it. It's quite an upgrade. Credit to ownership for putting this all together."

The changes come after the Bengals were given (D) and (D+) grades for their locker room on the 2023 and 2024 NFLPA report cards.
