LSU quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow became the No. 1 overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday night.
Burrow was widely expected to be the top pick after an incredible senior year at LSU in which he passed for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns en route to the national championship.
With Burrow in tow now, one noted Bengals fan offered his services on offense.
The Sacramento Kings mocked up each of their players in a football uniform on Twitter ahead of the NFL Draft and rookie Kyle Guy proceeded to volunteer himself as an option at wide receiver next season.
I’d happily be a 3rd option WR for my Bengals @Bengals .. ‘Ol reliable with exceptional route running 👊🏼 https://t.co/w8LxVnz80p

Guy was born in Indianapolis but spent a part of his childhood in Cincinnati and grew fond of the Bengals. He even played quarterback growing up but is apparently ready to switch to wide receiver.
For Guy, and Bengals fans alike, Thursday proved to be a pivotal moment for the franchise as Burrow projects to give the team stability at the quarterback position for years to come.
