That Ohio State brotherhood transcends teams, competitions,and life circumstances. In case you missed it, former Ohio State, LSU and current Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered what looked like a gruesome knee injury in the second half of the game between the Bengals and Washington.
He ended up receiving medical attention and was carted off the field. Before he was, there were some former Buckeye brothers on Washington’s team that came over to console the former Ohio State quarterback.
Just before the cart rode off the field, Chase Young, Terry McLaurin and Dwayne Haskins all came over to offer support and encouragement to the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.
After the game, a reporter asked McLaurin why the trio wanted to say something to Burrow before he left the field. As you guessed, it had everything to do with the Buckeye brotherhood.
“Still got that Ohio State brotherhood'” said McLaurin … “Under that jersey, you still got that Block O close to your heart.”
FOX Sports caught a close up of Young showing some compassion for his former teammate.
