A staffer working in the Buffalo Bills mailroom is giving praise back to team quarterback Josh Allen. A man known as “Slick Rick” got emotional because he was thanked by Allen when the quarterback won the MVP award at NFL Honors this year.
In Allen’s acceptance speech, he thanked Rick as well as Bills fans, management and teammates. Once the speech ended, people immediately started asking themselves, who is “Slick Rick?”
“Slick Rick” is actually Roderick Morrow, who works in the Bills mail room. Morrow got emotional in an interview with Buffalo TV station WKBW, when discussing what it meant to him to be thanked by Allen.
“It’s still like a dream,” Morrow said in the interview while holding back tears. “Even though I work here, I don’t like this publicity, I’m just down to earth.”
Allen clearly knows who “Slick Rick” is, as he was thanked personally in his speech. Now, Bills fans are getting to know the man who made such an impression on the quarterback.
The Bills quarterback Allen helped lead the team to this year’s AFC Championship game, but the squad lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
