Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow is expected to go No. 1 overall in next month's NFL draft to the Cincinnati Bengals, and the 23-year-old former LSU quarterback is already taking a leadership role in his home state during the coronavirus pandemic.
Burrow posted a video on Twitter on Wednesday morning urging people to "follow directions that the government lays out" and providing resources for fellow Ohioans:

"I think something really important right now is a lot of kids in Ohio get their meals from school," Burrow said.
