Urban Meyer: 'Competitive Maniac' Joe Burrow an 'Absolute No-Brainer' in NFL

Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer hardly had a chance to coach quarterback Joe Burrow in big games before he transferred to LSU.

Burrow spent three seasons in Columbus, redshirting one and backing up J.T. Barrett for the other two until Dwayne Haskins beat him out for the starting role in 2018. That doesn't mean Meyer isn't still a fan of the man who's slated to become the NFL's latest No. 1 overall draft pick.

"Joe Burrow is a no-brainer," Meyer told NFL Media via Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith.
