"It's been interesting to see how the perception of me has changed over the years," Burrow said. "I never really felt that way about myself, and I wouldn't say when I was younger, other people felt that way about me either."
He called it 'interesting' to see the change in the opinion of the fans.
"I just find it interesting how the change has happened over the last couple years. It makes you feel good. It definitely doesn't make me feel bad. So I don't pay attention too much to it, but sometimes it's nice," he said.
