Dan Campbell wary of 'legend' Joe Burrow and Cincinnati Bengals' deep passing game

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.
