Joe Burrow prefers playing on turf, wants universal NFL surface

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow shared his thoughts Wednesday about a topic that has generated recent controversy in discussions among NFL players and analysts: turf or grass, and whether injuries are more likely to occur on certain surfaces.

"You do notice the field quality," Burrow told reporters. "That's the first thing you notice when you walk out there. It kind of changes the cleats you wear. It changes how you cut and how you run routes - all of the above. So I think having a universal turf would be a great thing for us as players. I don't know the stats on injuries or anything based off of the playing surface. I personally like playing on turf. I do wish that each stadium had the same turf. I don't know - it just feels faster to me."
