The Cincinnati Bengals were able to get a franchise quarterback with the first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
LSU’s Joe Burrow was the highest-ranked prospect after having one of the best seasons in college football history. They also snagged a highly sought-after receiver in Clemson’s Tee Higgins 32 picks later.
The expectations for the Ohio-native were sky high. He did not disappoint. Burrow totaled 300 or more yards in three out of his first hour games. He had a three-touchdown and no interception game mixed in there as well.
Sadly, Burrow was taken down by a dominating Washington Football Team defensive line in Week 11.
