LSU Football: NBA star believes Joe Burrow is the real deal
By Zach Ragan
Former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow is off to an 0-2 start in the NFL.
Former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow has performed well during his first two NFL starts, but he’s yet to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to a win.
As a result, Burrow hasn’t been very happy with his performance.
That’s not exactly a surprise — Burrow is one of the most competitive athletes on the planet. He could throw for 600 yards and eight touchdowns and he wouldn’t be a bit excited about it if his team didn’t win.
That trait, though, is what makes Burrow great. And it’s what’s going to make him one of the best players in the NFL eventually.
When will it happen?
No one knows. But NBA star Lebron James, an Ohio native, is confident that Burrow will be a star in the NFL.
Lebron James endorses Joe Burrow
James is a polarizing figure. There are those who are obsessed with him and those who are put off by some of his actions.
But I think everyone agrees that James is one of the greatest NBA players of all time — his talent is undeniable.
And you know what they say, great recognizes great. That’s what James’ recent endorsement of Burrow shouldn’t go unnoticed.
“Burrow is SPECIAL! He has the “IT” for sure,” tweeted James on Thursday after the Bengals’ loss to the Cleveland Browns.
James knows what it takes to be great. It’s clear he believes Burrow has the “it factor” that takes a talented quarterback from good to Hall of Fame caliber.
Next. LSU has a star that no one is talking about. dark
I’m not quite ready to say Burrow is Hall of Fame caliber, but he absolutely has the talent to get to Canton one day.
