Bengals Take Joe Burrow #1 Overall In NFL Draft

Joe Burrow was the one constant in a most unique NFL draft. For months, the national champion quarterback from LSU was linked with the Bengals. Cincinnati began the draft by sending the name of the Heisman Trophy winner to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the basement of his home. The draft was conducted remotely because of the coronavirus pandemic that has led to uncertainty about whether there will even be football this season. Burrow says it was “crazy” to jump to the top pick in the draft. The Washington Redskins selected defensive end Chase Young of Ohio State with the second pick.
