Bengals.com's Marisa Contipelli brings you the latest Bengals Report, as the team prepares to head to Mobile, Alabama to coach the 71st annual Senior Bowl.

In his first comments since the end of last season, head coach Zac Taylor sat down this week for a conversation with Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson before his coaching staff leaves Sunday for Mobile, Ala., to work the Jan. 25 Senior Bowl (2:30 p.m.-NFL Network) coaching the South. He's impressed with LSU quarterback Joe Burrow and hopes he at least visits with the team during the week.

In between meetings and film work prepping for the Senior Bowl, Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan and his quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt can't help but smile when the topic is LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. They may not know yet if he's going to join them next week in some fashion when they coach the South in the Jan. 25 game (2:30 p.m.-NFL Network) in Mobile, Ala. But they do know they'll have no problem putting him in their offense that has several elements of what Burrow ran to virtual reality perfection in Baton Rouge. 

On Wednesday morning the Pro Football Hall of Fame announces its list of 15 senior inductees (ten players, two coaches, three contributors) and Bengaldom already knows its two favorite sons won't be anointed by the shrine just down the road in Canton, Ohio that has proven to be light years away for Bengals of any era. But the absence of Ken Anderson and Ken Riley stunned some voters and they still have support on future ballots.
