"That was never being brought up in the meeting, the idea of whether he would play if he was drafted No. 1," Darlington said. "What did certainly come up was football. And I can tell you that from speaking with a person in that meeting, they were blown away by Joe Burrow. He said that he was like 'a 10-year vet.' That he 'exceptional'.

"I think after hearing the way this meeting went down, we should absolutely expect Joe Burrow to wind up No. 1 with the Cincinnati Bengals. And both sides seem very clear, despite maybe some of the rumblings that existed in the past few weeks, that if he were drafted No. 1, he would be playing for the Bengals."

Burrow won't be working out or throwing at the Combine this week but will showcase his skills at LSU's Pro Day on April 3.
