Presumptive No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow has a simple goal in the NFL: to keep winning.

The former LSU star is coming off a historic season in which he won the Heisman Trophy and national championship.

While Burrow has already made it clear he'd be happy to be picked by the Cincinnati Bengals at the top of the draft, the quarterback is simply hoping for the best opportunity for professional success.

"I just want to get drafted to a good team, good organization that is going to maximize my talents," Burrow said Wednesday on "The Big Podcast with Shaq." "I've won everywhere that I've been. And I've never had a losing season in sports from the moment I was 5 years old. I'm not a loser. I just want to go somewhere where I can win."

He added: "Teams are picking at the top for a reason. And I feel like, like I said before, I've won everywhere that I've ever been. I feel like if anybody can do it, I can do it."

Burrow will be among 58 prospects who have been invited to virtually participate in the 2020 NFL Draft. With all public events canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the QB won't get his big moment on the draft stage.

"There is definitely some disappointment. I was really looking forward to walking that stage, walking that red carpet, and hearing my name called," Burrow said. "But I think having it at home with my family is going to be just as good. Getting drafted is getting drafted. I don't really have any plans yet because I don't really know what it's going to look like."

The draft is scheduled to take place April 23-25.
