Roderick Morrow, a Buffalo Bills employee that works in the team's mailroom, said last week he was going to cry if Josh Allen didn't win the NFL MVP award. Allen was named the MVP, and Morrow, nicknamed "Slick Rick," was left crying anyway, thanks to a special shoutout from Allen during his MVP speech.

"We've got such a great locker room in Buffalo," Allen said in his speech, "and it takes everybody from the equipment staff, to the training room, to the strength staff, to Slick Rick in the mailroom, to the cafeteria upstairs. It truly takes everybody to have team success and I'm so fortunate to be a part of a great organization."
