Bengals QB Joe Burrow still has 'Star Wars'-themed bedroom

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was selected with the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but that doesn't mean he still doesn't live a normal life.

Burrow, who has been highly praised for leading LSU to a college football title, is still living at home in his parents' basement. With the current state of the world amid the coronavirus pandemic, that's to be expected, but it appears the young quarterback may need an update to his bedroom.

The 23-year-old admitted on the "Pardon My Take" podcast that his bedroom is still "Star Wars"-themed, which is weird because wouldn't you think it would be football-themed?

Of course he'll likely be on the move once he can look for places to live in and around Cincinnati, but finding out he still sleeps in a "Star Wars"-themed bedroom is the icing on the cake.

Burrow came into his own last season with LSU, throwing for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns while adding 368 yards and five touchdowns rushing. He also completed 76.3 percent of his passes.

If he succeeds in the NFL, it'll likely be because he has "The Force" with him. We're joking of course, but it'll certainly be interesting to see how Burrow does in his first season with the Bengals.
