Brett Favre Says Joe Burrow Had Best QB Season in College Football History

Gerald Herbert/Associated Press

Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre thinks Joe Burrow's 2019 performance for the LSU Tigers was the best by a quarterback in college football history.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Favre complimented the entire LSU roster as the "best college team I've ever seen" and said of Burrow that it was the "best play by a college quarterback in history."

There's certainly a strong argument to be made that Burrow had the best individual season by a quarterback in college football history. He set FBS records with 65 total touchdowns, 60 passing touchdowns and a 202 passer rating.
