Burrow’s Unique Superstition
He wears socks inside out. That’s the superstition. According to him, it is not a superstition, but it is a superstition. It is not surprising that it is his lucky charm to reach some major national milestones with this particular habit. He admits that this tradition made him reach the Super Bowl and a national title.
But things weren’t as lucky for him as he first got this habit from laziness. He was lazy enough to wear socks without flipping them and inside out.
