Had a chance to spend some time around @Joe_Burrow10 last season. A few reasons I love this pick for the @Bengals aside from the film:

Joe was furious that the LSU pro day was cancelled...
Because he concerned how his teammates that didn’t go to the combine were going to be able to prove they should be drafted.

His @HeismanTrophy speech. Not only naming all 5 starting OL but multiple reserves right off the top.
Also seeing in person how much it meant to him seeing @LSUfootball win the @JoeMooreAward

@tom_hart & I were invited to dinner with the LSU crew after SEC Media Days...Coach O tells a fan that Joe is the reason they won. Joe stands up, walks over & says “Coach, YOU are the reason we are doing all of this”.
He was handed a brand new playbook in January. He excelled in that NFL offense 7 months later.
He is the ultimate deflector of success. He tough as nails. A leader. Film junkie. Players gravitate to him. He has a chip on his shoulder. He thrives in proving people wrong.
