It’s official.
LSU quarterback phenom Joe Burrow officially is a Cincinnati Bengal as the first overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The National Champion was long-linked to the Bengals, as he emerged as the most highly sought after prospect in this year’s class. An hour before the draft, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that team president Mike Brown had already sent Burrow a No. 9 Bengals jersey on Wednesday.
Here is the moment Burrow’s name was virtually called, watching at home with his parents, Jim and Robin Burrow.

As expected, the former Tiger will stay in stripes, but now as a Bengal.
