No LSU athlete except for maybe Pete Maravich is on Joe Burrow’s level.

ETA

It depends on if we're talking about just what they accomplished at LSU (which is what I was thinking) or if we're including post LSU careers too. If post LSU careers are included, then absolutely Shaq should be included.

pump the breaks, guy.

Shaq is easily above the level, especially worldwide.
PLENTY of people don't yet know who BDJ is. IF he wins an SB, then maybe that changes.

Hell, Bregman won a WS* with the Astros. Many other LSU athletes are nationally recognized. Honey Badger, Fournette, etc.

No, because Joe would bury him in a 3 pt shooting contest.

The crack - get off it - immediately.

Name an award or accomplishment Burrow didn't accomplish (as a QB) in 2019?

I'll give you a hint - it's season completion percentage, and he missed it by the smallest of margins.

Maravich was a scoring machine and made folks realize LSU could be a basketball power if it chose to be. He was also an exciting draw even for opposing teams when LSU was on the road. That's it. Burrow, for all practical purposes, IS LSU football for the rest of his life.
