Joe Burrow Shakes off Tom Brady Comparisons With Funny Response
Over the course of his collegiate career, Joe Burrow has put up some incredible numbers. He set the all-time passing touchdown record with 60, won a Heisman trophy, took down Clemson in the National Championship, and more. Needless to say, he has been one of the most hyped up quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen entering April's Draft.
Recently, though, there have been some comparing Burrow to future NFL Hall of Famer and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, a juxtaposition that Burrow himself does not agree with.
The NFL Network told #LSU QB Joe Burrow that some are comparing him to Tom Brady.

He just laughed.
"Please don't compare me to the best player of all time. Let me do my own thing. Don't do that to me. Please."
NFL Network: But it's high praise.
"It is. But it's Tom Brady."
The comparison of any college player to the greatest quarterback of all time is just plain ridiculous. Thankfully, Burrow is able to see through this idiocy.
When their throwing motions are put side by side, however, Burrow and Brady do seem to have similar releases, furthering the speculation that the two have comparable attributes. However, that is all it is: speculation. All this means is that he has a great throwing form.

While Burrow could be a great NFL player, let's wait before anointing him the next GOAT, as it provides unnecessary pressure for a very likable prospect.
