Detroit Lions Dan Campbell was an assistant with the New Orleans Saints, across state in Louisiana, when Joe Burrow led LSU to a national championship.
"He’s a legend down there," Campbell said Wednesday. "I mean, LSU and you win a national championship, he can walk on water down there."
Burrow isn't quite performing miracles at the NFL level yet, but a year removed from a torn ACL, he's getting close.
The second-year quarterback has the historically inept Cincinnati Bengals 3-2 and in contention for an AFC playoff spot, and nothing he has done so far has surprised Campbell.
