Ohio State's Mike Weber calls Joe Burrow the next Tom Brady

Greg Bartram / USA TODAY Sports

Ohio State running back Mike Weber thinks very highly of Joe Burrow.

Who is Joe Burrow, you ask? Well, after a quick Google search, it appears Burrow is the Buckeyes backup quarterback, and the next Tom Brady, according to Weber.

Burrow figures to backup J.T. Barrett again in 2017, but that doesn't necessarily write him off for having a prolific NFL career. If you remember, Brady didn't earn starting time until his junior year at Michigan and even then, shared snaps with Drew Henson before becoming a sixth-round draft pick.

It remains to be seen if Burrow can live up to Weber's lofty expectations, but I'd go with the under on whether he'll earn five Super Bowl rings.
