LSU Football: Dabo Swinney compares Joe Burrow to future hall of famer

The Clemson Tigers will have their hands full with LSU Tigers quarterback Joe Burrow on Monday night in the College Football Playoff championship game in New Orleans.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is well aware of the effect that Burrow will have on the matchup. In fact, he couldn’t quit gushing about Burrow during a recent interview with ESPN.

Swinney told ESPN that Burrow is “incredibly smart” and that it makes him “sick” to watch him on tape.

The former Alabama wide receiver didn’t stop the praise there, either. Swinney tossed a massive compliment at Burrow by saying the LSU quarterback is “like watching Tom Brady, just more athletic”.
