Bengals Select Joe Burrow First Overall in 2020 NFL Draft

LSU Standout to Lead Cincinnati's Offense

Cincinnati, OH - April 23, 2020

The Cincinnati Bengals have selected former Louisiana State University quarterback Joe Burrow with the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Burrow, the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner, is considered one of the most talented quarterbacks in the draft class.

Burrow led LSU to a national championship in 2019, throwing for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns. He also rushed for 399 yards and seven touchdowns. Burrow is known for his accuracy, arm strength, and leadership.

The Bengals are hoping that Burrow can be the franchise quarterback they have been searching for. Cincinnati has not had a winning record since 2015.

Burrow said that he is excited to join the Bengals and is ready to lead the team to success.

"I'm so excited to be a part of this organization," Burrow said. "I can't wait to get to work and help this team win."
