Excited to be playing in Death Valley next season. Ready to get to work. - Joe Burrow

I've been watching the draft enough years that I know crazy things have happened. I've watched people on camera slip, and then the camera stays in their face and all that stuff. I'm keeping everything on the table. Honestly, I expect to be No. 1, but I'm not positive about it.

I'd like to thank Louisiana, the entire state. Like I said earlier, [I'm] just a kid from Ohio coming down and chasing a dream. And the entire state has welcomed me and my family with open arms and invited us in to be native Louisianans. I've learned to love crawfish and gumbo. During crawfish season, Coach O made sure we have pounds and pounds and pounds of crawfish during our year.

It's exciting for us to see the Bengals in the news a lot. Growing up nobody talked about the Bengals too much. It's exciting for us, exciting for the city that people are starting to realize we're a really good team and an exciting team as well.
