Quarterback Joe Burrow expected to be picked first overall in NFL Draft

Quarterback Joe Burrow is widely expected to be selected first overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL Draft this week.

Burrow enjoyed one of the best seasons in college football history in 2019 as he led LSU to a National Championship title, passed for 60 touchdowns and over 5,600 yards and won the Heisman Trophy.

The Bengals have the first pick on Thursday after a dismal 2-14 year and are expected to trade or release last season's starting quarterback Andy Dalton if Burrow does land in south-west Ohio.

This year's Draft will be conducted remotely due to coronavirus restrictions in the United States.
