All signs have pointed to the Cincinnati Bengals drafting LSU quarterback Joe Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

ESPN's Adam Schefter dropped another signal Thursday, reporting that Bengals president Mike Brown officially welcomed Burrow to the franchise the day before.

"Brown sent Burrow a letter that said, amongst other things, that he looks forward 'to building championship football teams with you for many years to come,'" Schefter wrote.

Burrow led LSU to a 15-0 record en route to a national title.
