Buffalo Bills employee 'Slick Rick' surprised with car following Josh Allen's viral MVP speech shoutout

For years, Roderick Morrow, fondly known as "Slick Rick" within the Buffalo Bills organization, has quietly gone about his job, delivering mail and bringing a positive spirit to One Bills Drive. But in the past few days, his dedication and humble nature have taken center stage, earning him a moment in the spotlight that he truly deserves.

It all started when Josh Allen, the Bills' star quarterback, gave Morrow a heartfelt mention during his MVP acceptance speech at the NFL Honors. "It takes everybody," Allen emphasized. "From the equipment staff to the training room to the strength staff to 'Slick Rick' in the mailroom to the cafeteria upstairs. It truly takes everybody to have team success." Those words not only highlighted the often-overlooked contributions of behind-the-scenes staff but also brought an emotional reaction from Morrow, who later described the moment as "like a dream."

Morrow, a longtime employee of the team, has always been an unassuming presence, quietly performing his duties while earning the admiration of players and staff alike. In an interview with Buffalo's WKBW, the 61-year-old admitted he never expected to hear his name on national television. "I was happy that [Allen] had won it, and it went from joyful to crying because when he mentioned my name, I just broke down," he recalled. "I'm just an average person, but when he mentioned my name it was like, 'Oh my God, he just mentioned my name on national television!'"

The heartwarming moment soon led to an even greater surprise. The West Herr Auto Group, clearly moved by Morrow’s story and daily struggles, stepped in to make a tangible difference in his life. Having relied on public transportation for the past 15 years, Morrow was gifted a brand-new Chevy Traverse, a gesture that left him completely overwhelmed. In a video shared by WKBW, an emotional Morrow sat inside his new car, trying to process the magnitude of the moment. "You made an impact on others," someone from West Herr told him. "You made an impact on Josh and the rest of the organization, so you deserve it."

Fighting back tears, Morrow could only express his gratitude, saying, "I'm the type of person where I'm like, 'Why me?' But that's how I am. This is unbelievable. I thank everybody ... I'm just an average guy. I guess I was blessed to get the job with the Bills and I'll just try not to miss no days of work, and just be there and do what I'm supposed to do."

Morrow’s reaction perfectly encapsulates the essence of a man who never sought recognition but has now rightfully received it. His story serves as a reminder that kindness, dedication, and humility never go unnoticed. For #BillsMafia, this is more than just a feel-good story—it’s proof that true team spirit extends far beyond the field.
