Nick Mullens’ triumphant debut still has people talking, specifically fellow Southern Miss product Brett Favre.
“I’m not surprised one bit. The kid is legit and can make all the throw,” Favre said Monday on SiriusXM NFL radio.
How legit is Mullens, who passed for 242 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-3 rout Thursday night against the Raiders?
Favre went so far as to invoke a comparison to Tom Brady, if merely to illustrate how an unknown player can seize an opportunity and become great.
