When the Cincinnati Bengals selected Joe Burrow with the first pick in the NFL Draft, they made the move with the intention of the former LSU football quarterback being the franchise’s starter in 2020.
Shortly after selecting Burrow, the Bengals released former starting quarterback Andy Dalton, essentially making their intentions a reality.
Barring injury, Burrow is the guy for the Bengals in 2020. There will be no sitting on the bench and learning behind a veteran. It’s Burrow’s team.
And that should make for a very interesting rookie season for the former Tigers standout.
The 2020 NFL schedule was released on Thursday evening, so we now know when Burrow will take the field this upcoming season.
