Quarterback Joe Burrow made it clear Tuesday that he will play for the Bengals if they draft him.
There’s been increasing chatter about whether or not the LSU Heisman winner has interest in playing for Cincinnati. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Well, you can stick a pin it because Burrow said he’ll play for the Bengals if they select him. “I’m not going to not play. I’m a baller if the Bengals pick me, I’m going to play,” the star gunslinger told the media.

It’s kind of strange that this even needs to be said. Burrow might not want to play for the Bengals, but let’s not pretend like he’d just take a year off.
Of course, he could try to force a trade, but there’s no guarantee the Bengals would play ball. I’m sure they would for enough picks, but you never know.

The reality of the situation is that if the Bengals want Burrow, then they’re going to get him with the first pick in the draft.
Now, all options are always on the table. If a bunch of picks come flying their way, things could change, but there’s no guarantee that happens.

As of right now, Burrow to the Bengals is a very safe bet.
