Joe Burrow Would Be 'Happy' to Join Bengals, Per Father

Former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow capped a magical Heisman Trophy season with a win over Clemson in the College Football Playoff national championship game, and he's likely to be selected first overall in the NFL draft in April.

Burrow was certainly thrilled after winning the title in New Orleans. How will he react to being selected No. 1 by the Bengals? Quite similarly, according to his father Jimmy.

"He's excited to even be in that conversation and if the Bengals do draft him, he's going to be happy," Jimmy Burrow told Canadian radio station TSN 690 on Thursday.
