Joe Burrow has been selected no. 1 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals. Joseph Lee Burrow played college football for the Louisiana State University Tigers. Before transferring to LSU, Burrow began his collegiate career at Ohio State. In 2019, his second and final season with LSU, Burrow racked up the awards and milestones.
He led LSU to victory in the 2020 National Championship Game. One of his many awards was the prestigious Heisman Memorial Trophy. Many journalists and sportswriters deemed the season to be the greatest ever by a college quarterback. Including me.
In the Championship Game against Clemson, Burrow threw for 463 yards and scored six total touchdowns, five passing, which led LSU to a 42–25 victory and him being named the game’s offensive MVP. He finished his 2019 season with 60 passing touchdowns, which broke the single-season FBS record previously held by Colt Brennan in 2006. His 5,671 passing yards ranks third all-time in an FBS season, tied with Case Keenum(2009). His passer rating of 202 for the season was also a record.
