Joe Burrow became a household name during the 2019 college football season when he led LSU to a national title, an undefeated season and shattered several FBS passing records. His public profile grew after leading the Bengals to a Super Bowl during his second season as the team's starting quarterback.
Even still, Burrow wanted to make sure his opponents knew who he was during the Super Bowl.

It's safe to assume that all of the Rams players know who Burrow is by this point. Still, it was cool to see him interact with Los Angeles' defensive stars. He grew up idolizing some of them, after all, as he admitted to Weddle.

"Nice to meet you brother," Burrow said to Weddle. "I loved watching you growing up."
"Hell of a season," Weddle replied. "Keep it up. I love everything about you."
NFL fans seem to love everything about Burrow too. This video will only continue to earn him adoration, as it shows the respect he has for other star players across the league.
