With just over two months till the NFL Draft that kicks off on April 23, the two-win Bengals will hear their name called and the player that they want with that first-overall pick taken off the board.
Many predict that player to be Joe Burrow. A historically great collegiate football season topped off with a Heisman trophy and a College Football Playoffs Championship, Burrow’s stock sky-rocketed the last few months of the season.
He could be the quarterback to snap the Bengals’ streak of consecutive playoff losses. He could give hope to a city that’s struggled to field a winning team the last few seasons.
