Joe Burrow
Quarterback LSU
LSU quarterback Joe Burrow owns the football world, rounding up every trophy and award possible including the Heisman Trophy. Outwitting the Oklahoma defense to seven first-half touchdowns in the Peach Bowl goes further to cement his status. Once thought of a mid-to-late-round pick, Joe Burrow is unquestionably a legacy at the position. Producing the season he has for LSU stamps his mark well enough.
Cincinnati may still hold a decision until draft day with the allure of Chase Young looming to bolster any defense he joins. Still, years of employing the league’s most average signal-caller are incentive enough to snag Burrow.
His addition could prove useful in the attempt to persuade AJ Green in returning to the team as well.
