State of the Hogs: Petrus remembered as one of a kind

There will never be another Brandon Burslworth. He’s an Arkansas Razorbacks legend and a state treasure.

His life was chronicled well in the 2016 movie "Greater." There were a few things in the film that stretched things a bit. Hollywood can do that.

You know the story: walk-on to All-American as an offensive guard, drafted in the third round by the Indianapolis Colts and then died just days later in a car wreck.

There should be another movie about a similar state legend. Mitch Petrus, a two-time first-team All-SEC offensive guard, died Thursday night from a heat stroke.
