In an offseason where there should be no drama surrounding the first overall pick, there’s managed to be plenty of drama surrounding LSU football’s Joe Burrow and the team that possesses the first overall pick — the Cincinnati Bengals.
There’s been several manufactured narratives that Burrow doesn’t want to play for Cincinnati. But those narratives were seemingly put to rest at the combine when Burrow told reporters he’d play for whoever drafted him.
Still, this is the sports world we’re talking about. And rumors/narratives tend to persist.
Even after Burrow is drafted by the Bengals and (eventually) signs his contract, there will still probably be rumors that he’s unhappy in Cincinnati.
