Joe Burrow is a Cincinnati Bengal. The Bengals drafted the top player on their board with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft

The Bengals considered Tua Tagovailoa but his injury history concerned the team. Justin Herbert impressed the club at the Senior Bowl and during the draft evaluation process. However, Burrow was Cincinnati’s main target all along. The LSU quarterback skyrocketed up the team’s draft board during his record-breaking season with the Tigers.
