No. 1 Overall Pick Joe Burrow Was Bound To Bleed Orange After Cincinnati Bengals Pre Draft Revelation

It’s no secret that quarterback Joe Burrow was the chosen one for the Cincinnati Bengals organization during the 2020 NFL Draft. Burrow recently revealed that he was among the few people who knew where he is heading before the event. The organization showed a lot of faith and patience with Burrow throughout the entire process, and it eventually paid off last season.

During his recent appearance on the Full Send Podcast, Burrow shares how the whole process began from his point of view. He states, “We had a combine, I didn’t do anything at the Combine, and our Pro Day got canceled. So I didn’t do any of the Pre Draft stuff that other guys were doing. So I was just able to train and focus on getting better cause you know, I don’t know if I am allowed to say this, but they had told me months in advance that I was gonna be their guy.”

Burrow was raring to go and get his journey in the NFL started. Despite getting sidelined by injuries in his rookie season, Burrow was determined to make his 2nd season count. It proved to be the turning point in his NFL career. The franchise won the AFC Championship game for the first time in 33 years.
