The general consensus is that LSU quarterback Joe Burrow will be the first pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in April, meaning he will receive quite the hefty contract from the Cincinnati Bengals.
As for what Burrow's first purchase will be?
It won't be a Lambo or a mansion. It will be a chef:
“I'm a healthy eater, so whatever he or she can make that tastes good and keeps me shredded,” Burrow told TMZ Sports.
That's dedication right there.
Joe Burrow is coming off of what some consider to be the greatest individual season in NCAA history, as he threw for 5,671 yards, 60 touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 76.3 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 202. On top of that, Burrow rushed for 368 yards and five scores.
He also went on to lead the Tigers to a national championship, going 31-for-49 with 463 yards and five touchdowns in a win over Clemson. He also totaled 58 yards on the ground while punching in a score.
Burrow initially began his collegiate career at Ohio State in 2015. He redshirted after one season and saw his first action in 2016, completing 22 of 28 throws for 226 yards and a couple of touchdowns.
After residing with the Buckeyes through 2017, Burrow transferred to LSU, and in 2018, he threw for 2,894 yards, 16 touchdowns and five picks while completing 57.8 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 133.2.
It wasn't until 2019 that Burrow broke out.
The 23-year-old also told Josh Wingrove of Bloomburg News that he does not care where he plays:
“Whoever wants to pay me money to play the game of football, I'll play for them. It doesn't matter to me,” he said.
Cincinnati, here he comes, by way of the NFL Draft!
