Nick Saban expects Joe Burrow to have a 'fantastic' NFL career

Alabama coach Nick Saban believes former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow can carry his college success into the next level.

In an episode of "Detail" that debuted on ESPN+ on Monday, Saban praised the projected top overall pick in next week's NFL draft as he broke down Burrow's performance in LSU's victory over Clemson for the national championship in January. Burrow, the Heisman Trophy winner, was 31-of-49 passing for 463 yards and five touchdowns to cap LSU's undefeated season.

Saban complimented Burrow's accuracy and decision-making.

"I think Joe Burrow's got great vision, does a good job with pre-snap reads and knowing where he's going to go with the ball," Saban said.
