Joe Burrow was a great teammate before he arrived in Baton Rouge or Columbus for that matter.
Burrow had already committed to The Ohio State University to play football before his senior year. Though an excellent high school basketball player, he knew his future was in football and not on the hardwood. While that was the case, it didn’t stop him from being an incredible teammate heading into his senior year at Athens High School.
In Patrick Schmidt‘s “Pride of The Plains” feature for FanSided, Burrow’s high school basketball coach Jeff Skinner recounts the sacrifice the future Heisman Trophy winner made the summer heading into his senior year of high school.
