Joe Burrow Stadium sign installed at Athens High School

Athens High School has been using the name Joe Burrow Stadium, but now it's got the signage to proudly reflect that it's named for the Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback.

The school district announced last December that it would rename its stadium in The Plains, Ohio, after Burrow.

Burrow - Ohio's Mr. Football for the 2014-15 season - graduated from Athens High in 2015 before heading to the Ohio State Buckeyes and later transferring to the LSU Tigers, which he led to a national title while winning the Heisman Trophy.

In two games for the Bengals, Burrow has 60 completions in 97 attempts for 509 yards, with three passing touchdowns and one interception.
