"Like giving monks playboy subscriptions," another added. "I knew he was a little neuro-spicy just like us!" a third commented.

Here are a few more reactions.

"Burrow knows the value of a good offensive line - protecting him like those fossils were protected for millennia. Great gifts!" one wrote. "Nothing says team bonding like casually gifting everyone a small museum," another added. "Should have bought them a shovel cause all theyre doing is burrowing Joe into the turf," a user tweeted.

Last year, Burrow and some of his Cincinnati teammates visited the Field Museum in Chicago, where they observed several rare fossils.
