During his acceptance speech Burrow got emotional while talking about Coach O.
“Coach O, you have no idea what you mean to my family,” “I didn’t play for three years. You took a chance on me not knowing if I could play or not. I’m forever grateful for you. … I sure hope they give him a lifetime contract.”
