And barring an unforeseen trade, Cincinnati Bengals fans should be lining up to buy his jersey. It's been a meteoric rise for the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"former Ohio State transfer (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/joe-burrow-can-become-the-most-successful-former-ohio-state-qb-of-all-time\/\" >former Ohio State transfer<\/a>. Before the 2019 college football season, Burrow's NFL draft prospects didn't look too bright. But after teaming up with Joe Brady, his stock skyrocketed thanks to a truly historic season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Heisman Trophy winner has every quality necessary to become the NFL's next great quarterback. From his incredible accuracy to his <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/joe-burrow-is-so-outstanding-that-nfl-executives-want-him-in-their-family\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"legendary leadership skills (opens in a new tab)\">legendary leadership skills<\/a>, Joe Burrow is as close to a can't-miss prospect as you can get. And when Roger Goodell officially puts the Bengals on the clock, the former LSU star will instantly become a multi-millionaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joe Burrow's rise to become the No. 1 NFL draft prospect <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joe Burrow&#039;s best moments as an LSU Tiger | College Football Mixtape\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zto8fX5fdA4?start=14&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before Burrow and Brady found each other, the former wasn't exactly a <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/joe-burrow-to-the-dolphins-in-the-nfl-draft-isnt-as-crazy-as-it-seems\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"coveted NFL draft prospect (opens in a new tab)\">coveted NFL draft prospect<\/a>. That's not surprising considering his lackluster production. He spent three years as a backup with the Buckeyes before transferring to LSU. As a junior, he flashed some ability, but nobody viewed him as a first-rounder, let alone a candidate to go No. 1 overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything changed once LSU transitioned from an archaic offense to a modern-day RPO-based attack. The 6-foot-4, 216-pound signal-caller turned out to be a picture-perfect fit for Brady's system. Utilizing a deep array of skill players, Burrow set numerous records and cemented his status as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/is-tim-tebow-the-best-quarterback-in-college-football-history\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"best quarterbacks in college football history (opens in a new tab)\">best quarterbacks in college football history<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what stat you choose, Burrow simply shined. He threw 60 touchdown passes in 15 games\u2014an astounding jump from his 16-TD effort in 2018. The cool, calm and collected kid from Ohio also set SEC single-season records for yards (5,671) and completion percentage (76.3). His individual brilliance helped the Tigers achieve their first national title since 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Burrow can transform Bengals into immediate contenders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bengals have no choice than to take Joe Burrow \u2013 Mel Kiper | 2020 NFL Mock Draft\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UwWX87IjD5E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Burrow possesses every quality to turn the Bengals into a playoff contender. That's right, folks. He's that impactful. From a talent perspective, Cincinnati's roster is nowhere near the bottom of the league. The Bengals have had a surprisingly aggressive offseason approach that's included <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"franchise-tagging A.J.

Reader and Trae Waynes to massive contracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making Burrow their franchise QB should put the Bengals in contention a conference that's undergoing transition. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Tom Brady's departure (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tom-brady-gets-ripped-by-terry-bradshaw-for-leaving-the-patriots\/\" >Tom Brady's departure<\/a> severely weakens the Patriots' stranglehold on the AFC.

Philip Rivers moving from the Chargers to the Colts may also have trickle-down effects when it comes to the playoff bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don't sleep on Cincinnati challenging the rest of the AFC North for a coveted playoff spot, either. Pittsburgh's Super Bowl hopes rest on 38-year-old Ben Roethlisberger's surgically-repaired elbow. Cleveland made sweeping regime changes yet again.

After all, becoming a multi-millionaire overnight couldn't be more of a dramatic shift from the life of a college athlete. And for Joe Burrow, he'll start cashing in as soon as the 2020 NFL draft kicks off on Thursday, April 23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the rookie salary slots, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Spotrac (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/draft\/\" target=\"_blank\">Spotrac<\/a> projects the No. 1 pick will receive a rookie contract totaling $37.1 million.
