Joe Burrow: Combine results and workout sources
The 2020 table lists measurements but no running, jumping or lifting results. NFL coverage of that event notes that the LSU quarterback did not work out. The reviewed record does not support a 4.78 second sprint.
Read the workout in context
Cincinnati selected the passer first overall. A missing workout leaves the speed question unanswered; it does not create a slow time or a failed test. His passing and movement on film remain separate evidence from a timed drill.

What the measurements tell you
The college listed for this draft entry is LSU. The selection was round 1, pick 1, in 2020, by Cincinnati Bengals. This identifies the selecting club rather than a present day team.
The reviewed draft record lists 6 ft 3 in and 221 pounds. Draft measurements describe that point in time. A later team roster can list different measurements, so use a dated roster for a current size question.
Using the results fairly
Jumps test power in different directions. The cone and shuttle use different paths, so their times are not interchangeable. Lifting repetitions do not show catching skill or passing accuracy. These tests add a physical snapshot to a draft report; they do not replace film, production or a medical review.
This table follows the source notes rather than choosing the best mark from several events. Where a second report differs, the event note explains the gap. We publish no percentile without a defined comparison group, sample size and calculation.
What to check for this record
The running time question cannot be answered by assigning a campus estimate to an event he did not complete. His 221 pound draft weight is a recorded measurement, but it cannot predict an unmeasured sprint. Keep the workout gap separate from any opinion about his ability to escape pressure.
Questions readers ask
Which draft team selected this player?
Cincinnati Bengals selected the LSU QB in round 1, at pick 1, in 2020. This is draft history, not a current roster claim.
What does an empty test field mean?
It means the reviewed source does not record a result. It does not mean zero, and it does not prove why the athlete did not have a listed mark.
Sources and review method
We checked the linked records for this update. Team and school reports can explain the event. Historical tables compile results and may leave fields empty. We keep that distinction visible and do not claim an affiliation with the source publishers.
