Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, roughly 13 months ago, was posting on Twitter to reveal that he was walking for the first time after his reconstructive knee surgery.
Fast forward to now, he’s led the Bengals to an AFC title and Super Bowl berth.
And he knows who helped him get to this point.
Meeting with the media after the AFC title game, Burrow told reporters one of the first things he did in the locker room was seek out his physical therapist:
“I thanked my physical therapist in the locker room. He was with me all offseason. He put vacations on hold to get me back to where I needed to be. He really helped me a lot, as well as my physical therapist in California. I owe a lot to those two guys.”
Paul Sparling and Nick Cosgray, among others, played a crtical role in this triumph that will otherwise go unseen compared to players and coaches, so kudos go to Burrow for seeking out those who helped him through the doldrums of the injury.
