An emotional speech from Joe Burrow has led to a lot of good in Ohio.
The LSU quarterback gave a shoutout to his hometown Saturday after winning the Heisman Trophy:
"Coming from southeast Ohio it's a very impoverished area and the poverty rate is almost two times the national average," Burrow said. "There's so many people there that don't have a lot and I'm up here for all those kids in Athens and Athens County that go home to not a lot of food on the table, hungry after school."
This speech caught the attention of at least one local man, who started a fundraiser Sunday for the Athens County Food Pantry, according to TMZ Sports.
