LSU quarterback Joe Burrow lamented the cancellation of the Tigers' pro day, which was scheduled for Friday, because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Burrow, likely to be selected No. 1 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2020 NFL draft, said on Twitter:

In March, the SEC decided to cancel all of the conference's spring sporting events, including college football pro days, amid bans on large gatherings because of COVID-19. NFL teams had already started pulling coaches and scouts off the road.

Burrow made a push to hold LSU's pro day, not for his own benefit, but to help the draft stocks of his teammates, per Bruce Feldman of The Athletic:

The 23-year-old Iowa native didn't participate in drills at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine and doesn't get to participate in a pro day either.
