Former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow received an insane compliment this week from an opposing head coach.

Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will open the 2021 season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon.

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer, who served as the Bengals’ defensive coordinator from 2008-2013, spoke to reporters this week about Burrow.

And he didn’t hold back while praising the former Tiger.

Zimmer spent several years in Cincinnati with quarterback Carson Palmer.

Palmer, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2002 while at USC, had a solid career with the Bengals.
