Burrow was asked what he would pass along to up-and-coming athletes if they want to play in a Super Bowl one day, and the former Heisman Trophy winner said it’s important to be at your best when nobody else is watching.

"Focus on getting better," Burrow said on Monday. "Don’t have a workout and post it on Instagram the next day and then go sit on your butt the next day and everyone thinks you’re working hard but you’re not. Work in silence. Don’t show anyone what you’re doing. Let your performance on Friday nights and Saturday nights and Sunday nights show all the hard work you put in. Don’t worry about all that social media stuff."
