FUN FACT: Joe Burrow is the first No. 9 to win the Heisman Trophy.

Joe Burrow wins the Heisman Trophy. Kinda crazy that the 2015 Ohio State Buckeyes gave us the single craziest QB completion ever with Cardale Jones, JT Barrett and Braxton Miller – and Burrow ended up as the best guy in the Buckeyes' QB room that season

Never thought I'd say an #LSU QB win the @HeismanTrophy in my lifetime. What Joe Burrow did in his two seasons in Baton Rouge, makes him the Greatest Tiger QB of All-Time. Dude transferred in and became a legend. #Salute

Joe Burrow's season was wild as hell. Happy for that dude. Playing defense against looks like a horrible assignment.

JOE BURROW MAKING ME CRY HOW DARE YOU JOE BURROW

— Alex McDaniel (@AlexMcDaniel) December 15, 2019

I’m old enough to remember the last 10 years, when LSU fans would have been elated to have an above-average QB much less a runaway Heisman winner.

Congrats to the young man on an amazing season. Which isn't over yet. Now it can be said: Yes, I voted for him. Stunner. https://t.co/NDHU0CZq4D

Show the Joe Burrow Heisman speech as the @LSUfootball recruiting video to any five-star recruit and it's over.

That was a great speech.

It really was Joe Burrow and three guys to sit there and watch him this year…. and that’s not a slight on any of those three other finalists. https://t.co/MDEm4YNtVT

Joe Burrow with an epic Heisman speech, right from the start by naming each of his O-linemen–and his chipping tight end and right on thru his journey, dripping with heart and emotion.
