Joe Burrow's NFL draft tee was custom made by Nike to honor his home state of Ohio.
LSU quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Burrow was selected as number one pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in Thursday's NFL Draft.
The 23-year-old received the call from the Bengals from the comfort of his own home while wearing a long sleeved white t-shirt decorated with the number 740, the area code for his home town of Athens, inside an outline of the state of Ohio.
TMZ reports Burrow has an endorsement deal with Nike, and that the shirt was custom made and is "not going to retail."
Burrow grew up in Athens and attended Athens High School between 2011 and 2014, during which time he guided the school to three straight playoff appearances and was awarded the state's Mr. Football Award and Gatorade Player of the Year.
In 2019, the school opted to rename its football stadium "The Joe Burrow Stadium" according to The Advocate.
