What You Didn't Know About Joe Burrow
After his stunning performance at Louisiana State University, nobody was surprised when Joe Burrow was the first player selected in the 2020 draft.
"I mean for me, it doesn't matter where you get picked," Burrow insisted after the Cincinnati Bengals chose him, per ESPN. "I could have been 189th pick, I could be No. 1. I'm going to work the exact same and try to be the best quarterback I can be for this city." The quarterback also assured reporters that even though he was picked out first, he didn't assume that he would be handed a starting position straight away without any competition. "That's exactly how I expect to do it," Burrow said, explaining that he was willing to work for it. "I'm going to come in and compete and try to be the best player I can be."
Although his four-year rookie contract was worth $36.1 million, Burrow announced that he wouldn't be wasting any of that windfall on expensive cars or jewelry. "I don't plan on spending any contract money," the star player said, per NBC Sports. "I'm just gonna live off the marketing money and let that accrue in my bank account."
