Current Patriots and former Nebraska running back Rex Burkhead was back in hometown of Plano, Texas this offseason and while there he presented his high school coach with a golden football that was given to players who have played in the Super Bowl.
"I appreciate more than you could ever know," his coach, Jaydon McCullough, said in the video. "We're so proud of you and everything you have accomplished."
Burkhead was the 2008 Texas 5A Player of the Year at Plano High School.
