There's not much that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow can do wrong right now, but that wasn't the case back in his Louisiana State days.
After winning the 2019 Heisman Trophy and edging Jalen Hurts to the award, Burrow was picked up first overall in 2020 by the Bengals, and is now gearing up for his second-straight AFC Championship game. He will be looking to make back-to-back Super Bowls too, which will only increase his stock in Ohio.
But back in Louisiana he was the brunt of a joke among his college team-mates as he elected to eat salad over fried chicken. He was influenced amid pressure from his peers, but whatever was in that coating has clearly done wonders. Louisiana is known for it's fried chicken, and it famously where popular chain Popeyes originates from. Fried chicken may not sound like an ideal source of food for athletes, but it's clearly working in the state.
