Joe Burrow has had one heck of a week. Just six days ago, he became the second player ever from LSU to win the Heisman Trophy, beating out his competition by a record-setting amount of votes. Now, he's officially graduated from LSU with a master's degree in Liberal Arts. Have a look at the future first-round pick walk across the stage to a thunderous applause from his adoring Tigers fans.

That's a crowd that truly loves its quarterback. The intensity of the cheers might only be rivaled when Burrow takes the field in eight days against Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Just imagine being the kid to walk across the stage after him.

At this point, every sports fan has at least a vague sense of Burrow's path to stardom, but here's a quick recap: Burrow originally attended Ohio State University, serving as the backup quarterback to J.T. Barrett before losing the battle for the starting spot to Dwayne Haskins. He graduated from OSU in three years with a degree in consumer and family financial services in 2018, then took off for LSU as a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility.

Just a year ago, Burrow was concluding a decent season that saw LSU finish No. 6 in the polls; however, his draft stock hadn't gained any sort of serious traction at all.

Now, he'll be battling it out for a national championship, with the expectation that he'll be chosen No. 1 in the 2020 NFL Draft.
