Olivi asked Kara-France if meeting Burrow was ‘a big deal’ to him. On this, ‘Don’t Blink’ replied, “I don’t really know when he came out to me… I was like, what’s up, bro? What’s your name? And they were like He plays with Cincinnati Bengals. But he was a big fan, so… now I love having new fans and I guess I better get to a game and watch it.”
