Joe Burrow
It should go without saying that Burrow is the Bengals’ grand prize this offseason. Regardless of what happens outside of the draft, if Cincinnati lands Burrow, they can chalk up this offseason as a success.
The LSU signal-caller compiled a historic season as he won the National Championship in 2019. In his final season at LSU, Burrow threw for 5,671 yards, 60 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
For months, Burrow has been regarded as the best quarterback prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft. Seeing that Cincinnati needs a franchise quarterback, they can’t afford to pass on Burrow.
Burrow, an Ohio native, could finally be the guy that lifts the Bengals out of the pit of despair in the NFL. The mix of confidence and talent from Burrow is exactly what the Bengals need to become a reputable franchise in the future.
