VIDEO: Ed Orgeron Mocks 'Tiger King' While Praising Joe Burrow Before NFL Draft
By Brady Williams
Thursday is an exciting night for LSU Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron. The national champion gets to see his prized quarterback get drafted, and it's more than likely going to be in the top spot. Moreover, it's been a big couple of months for Tigers in general. With everyone on lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, almost everyone in America seems to have watched Netflix's hit documentary series 'Tiger King'. However, when asked about the insane show, Coach O had to dismiss that "business".
LSU coach Ed Orgeron was asked if he's watched Tiger King.

Orgeron named Joe Burrow the real "Tiger King" and he's certainly a more palatable Joe to take the crown than Joe Exotic. Few in the state of Louisiana would argue with their coach's assessment, although the only other man who could possibly take the title is Coach O himself. With Burrow likely joining the Bengals as Orgeron predicts, it seems twice the Tiger means the coach is willing to abdicate his throne.
Burrow's anointment by his coach is just the latest in a heap of praise Orgeron has been throwing his way leading up to the draft.
On ESPN, Ed Orgeron says "If Joe Burrow is drafted to the Bengals as I hope he is, he's going to turn them into a championship football team."

Few would doubt Burrow's ability to perform on the football field, and the new Tiger King is probably going to be a star in the NFL. We don't think he'll be opening a zoo anytime soon, though.
