Awesome Clip Of Slick Rick, The Bills' Mail Room Staffer Who Got a Surprise Shout Out From Josh Allen's MVP Speech, Getting Emotional About The Moment

In case you missed it, last week Josh Allen took home the NFL's Most Valuable Player award. As he accepted it he gave a fantastic speech where he got emotional talking about his parents, teammates, fiancee Hailee Steinfeld, and even a mailroom staffer named Slick Rick. 

But who the hell was Slick Rick? You can't just be tossing a nickname like that around and expect us to just brush it off and move on without finding out more. If Josh Allen is going out of his way to acknowledge this guy he must be the man. Reporter Matthew Bové did some digging and found Rick himself. 

What a beauty of a human. Salt of the Earth Buffalo Bills style like we've grown to know. All he wanted was for Josh to finally win the award and receive the praise he deserves. Out of nowhere there's the Bills star QB shouting out his guy behind the scenes. Just a regular ol' dude who clocks in from 9 to 5 and doesn't expect anything special to ever come his way. Loves his job and the people he works with. Never complains. Awesome moment all around and you can tell that reaction was genuine. That dude isn't working up actor tears for the cameras, he actually felt that touched by the shout out. Pretty cool stuff. I love Josh Allen and Slick Rick. 

P.S. This could have been its own blog, but the video of Josh Allen watching all the kids from the Buffalo Children's Hospital congratulate him is instant water works.
