SIAP or if this story has already been discussed. The Athletic posted a tweet this morning.

Linked tweet has the link to the Athletic story (behind a paywall). I wasn't able to pull any quotes before it prompted me to join.

Joe Burrow has always been that dude.

Much of what separates good QBs from the great are the intangibles.

Those around LSU knew there was just too much evidence to doubt him.

Getting into a scruff with Devin white don’t seem like a good idea.

But hey, he is big dick joe

Yeah I suspect not many people could say that to DW and live to tell about it Just shows how confident Joe was even when he first stepped on campus.

Didn't he get in a fight with DW or another linebacker in one of his first practices at LSU? I remember the whole team rallying around him after that.

I thought he also picked a fight with Grant Delpit over a hit at practice...

Whenever people talk about his toughness, the first thing I always think is “this is the guy who tried to fight Miami in the tunnel before his first game at LSU.”

He’s definitely a different kind of QB.

I think it was a shoving match with one of the DL. Took some sack, dude would have swallowed BDJ

I just looked it up. It was JaCoby Stevens - I had forgotten all about that. Wouldn't doubt if he mixed it up with Delpit too

A brawl between the offense and defense followed. Everyone on the team reportedly participated except for guard Adrian Magee, who was drinking water on the sideline.

It wasn't too long ago I heard an interview with an O Lineman, where he was asked when did they know Hoe Burrow was a leader. The Response was the first practice. When asked why, the response was because he started picking fights with the D Linemen.

Ok, this is 100% legit believable for TC laying the wood on someone.

While I respect Joe, Joe also knew he was off limits from getting hit in any way. He was QB1. They are somewhat insulated from their mouthing off.

Not really that works for a few select people in a sports environment if they have the right personality, but most people in the real world come across as the dumbass who chronically gets their arse whipped if they get into fights over pride and lose

Had nothing to do with Joe beating Devin but everything to do with squaring him up and saying “let’s go”. There’s respect in that.

yep, what was that game, Ole Miss? where he was egging on the defender that knocked him out of bounds? easy to act cocky when you know about 60 of your closest friends are running towards you to defend you, still funny though

That's a big fat negative commander. They both started in 2018. Remember the Fiesta Bowl Devin chose to play in? Yeah...that was Joe's coming out party.
