Former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow was the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft after leading the Tigers to a national championship.

When LSU football landed Joe Burrow as a graduate transfer from Ohio State in 2018, there wasn’t a lot of hype.

Burrow, a former four-star recruit, chose LSU over Cincinnati — it’s not like the Tigers had to beat out Alabama or Clemson for him.

The former Buckeye, however, ended up becoming one of the most important players that’s ever played in Baton Rouge.
