ORCHARD PARK, N,Y. — Love what you do. Roderick Morrow lives it, and loves it, every day.

“It was like living the dream. It was like, ‘Wow. I work for the Bills,’” he said.

Morrow takes a bus from his home in the city of Buffalo about 15 miles to Orchard Park for his longtime job in the mailroom of the Buffalo Bills.

“I grew up a Bills fan and once I started working out here it was like I could never try to lose this job,” he said. “I come every day. Snowstorm, whatever, I’m trying to get there.”

His fandom formed back in the 1960s, growing up just a few blocks from the Bills original home field, War Memorial Stadium, affectionately known as the "Old Rockpile."

“In my neighborhood, I remember all the fans coming and parking their cars,” he said. “I even remember my mother parking cars in our driveway.”

During his many years working for the club, he has been blessed to be around the players, the coaches and the staff of his favorite team, becoming known for his positivity in the facility.

“I’m always in an upbeat spirit,” he said. “And basically, they get to know me because I’m delivering things, and they always see me delivering around the building.”

While he’s humble about his daily duties, he’s become like part of the team — even earning endearing nicknames like "Rico" and "Slick Rick."

Last Thursday, Morrow was watching like so many other fans when Bills quarterback Josh Allen was up for the league’s Most Valuable Player award at the NFL Honors ceremony in the lead up to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Morrow was nervous as each finalist was introduced.

“Then when they said Josh Allen it was like, 'wow!'” he said. “I jumped up. I was like, ‘Yeah!’ I was screaming loud through the house, like, ‘Yeah,' Happy. ‘Yeah! Yeah!’"

But all his excitement for Allen’s accolades pales in comparison to what happened next, when the star signal caller took the stage to accept his first MVP award.

“We’ve got such a great locker room in Buffalo, and it takes everybody,” Allen said. “From the equipment staff to the training room, to the strength staff, to ‘Slick Rick’ in the mail room...”

Yes. That "Slick Rick" in the mail room. A personal shoutout to Roderick Morrow from the NFL MVP himself.

“And when he said my name it was like, I couldn’t believe it,” Morrow said as tears streamed down his cheeks, still overcome with emotion. “I hate to cry. I still don’t believe it. When he said my name. I was just like, ‘Oh!’ I just started crying. I started crying. And then my son was in his room watching it. I started screaming, I was like, ‘He said my name.’ I just started crying, like, 'Wow, he said my name.'”

In the days since, Morrow’s phone has been flooded with family and friends congratulating him on the moment. His story has has gone viral on social media over the past couple of days. Just one short clip from his interview has been viewed more than 2 million times, with hundreds of comments from people inspired by Josh Allen’s act of kindness and Morrow’s powerful reaction.

“I don’t want no limelight or nothing like that. I just want us to win a Super Bowl,” he said. “Like before I was even working out here, I’m a diehard fan. People say I deserve it. I’m just doing my job. That’s the way I look at it. But for him to say, ‘Slick Rick,’ it shocked me."

A small gesture on the biggest stage — how a few simple words can go a long way.

“It’ll live with me forever until the man up above takes my last breath, I’ll still be wondering why,” he said.
