I'll bet good money that if we take the cup with Burrows, we'll eventually see a Rudy-style movie made about him. His life has all the classic elements.
Humble beginnings, hard work, determiniation, not drafted, then on the eve of his rise, his best friend is killed in a horribly tragic accident. I can already feel tears welling up as I watch the scene where he scores and points up the the LB.
