2020 NFL Draft: Burrow, Young go 1-2

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow was the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. Burrow went 15-0 and won the national championship with the Tigers. Now he gets a shot at turning around the Cincinnati Bengals, who went 2-14 and haven't won a playoff game in three decades.

"I worked really hard to get here," said Burrow, wearing a 740 shirt to represent his home area of southeast Ohio. Commissioner Roger Goodell made the official announcement from his basement to kick off the virtual NFL draft with Burrow getting word from his parents' home in The Plains, Ohio.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said the team didn't consider any trade overtures and the franchise was in agreement on Burrow early in the process. Taylor said Thursday via teleconference that Burrow took complete ownership of the offense at LSU and he's the total package. "There's a lot of things tangibly and intangibly that be brings to the table. You see it with your own eyes -- ability, leadership, he's the total package," Taylor said.

The Ohio State transfer and Heisman Trophy winner had an FBS-record 60 TD passes last season. He became the third player in three years to claim that trophy and emerge as the No. 1 pick in the following draft, following Oklahoma quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. Ohio State defensive end Chase Young was the second pick to the Washington Redskins, who have amassed a defensive line comprised of five first-round picks for first-year coach Ron Rivera. Young had 16.5 sacks last season as a junior.

Young's defensive teammate, cornerback Jeff Okudah, went No. 3 to the Lions. Detroit traded Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay to the Philadelphia Eagles in March. --Field Level Media
