Joe Burrow is expected to be the No. 1 pick in Thursday night’s NFL Draft to the Cincinnati Bengals, and his life will never be the same. This time Thursday night, Burrow will be a multi-millionaire, and he’ll officially be an NFL quarterback.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is adamant that the Bengals won’t trade the No. 1 pick and will take Burrow.
The former LSU quarterback spent 2 years in Baton Rouge leading the Tigers offense, and fans fell in love with the gunslinger. Burrow led LSU to a perfect 15-0 national championship season, including winning the Heisman Trophy.
The feeling is also mutual from Burrow to LSU fans, as the quarterback put up a billboard in Louisiana wearing his custom “Burreaux” jersey — “Thank you LSU and Louisiana!”
