The fund helps support the Athens County Food Pantry, which provides supplemental and emergency food aid to people living in and around Burrow's hometown of Athens, Ohio.
Burrow, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, was carted off the field Sunday after taking a hit in the Bengals' 20-9 loss to the Washington Football Team. An MRI reportedly revealed he tore his ACL and MCL and suffered other structural damage to his left knee.
