Joe Burrow inches closer to Bengals in 2020 draft via epic LSU senior night

The Joe Burrow hype train for the 2020 NFL draft, where the Cincinnati Bengals currently stand scheduled to pick first, continues without issue.

Saturday night during LSU’s Senior Night, Burrow ripped off another casually elite game in a 50-7 win over Texas A&M.

There, Burrow completed 71.9 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and no picks, bringing his season totals to 4,366 yards on a 78.3 percentage with 44 touchdowns and six interceptions.

The seemingly effortless performance, paired with the festivities of the night, helped increase the stock and aura of the Athens, Ohio native. Whether it was the entrance out onto the field, the performance itself or broadcasters linking Burrow to the Bengals, it helped further the idea the current LSU Tiger could be on his way back to Ohio via the draft.
