Here’s what happens after the Super Bowl: The NFL’s media-relations people turn the stadium’s ground level, the corridors and bowels near the teams’ locker rooms, into two large interview areas, using curtains to cordon them off and erecting risers on which players can sit while they answer questions. The risers are for the players who did something significant during the game. They’re for the quarterbacks, the veteran leaders on the offense and defense, the skill-position guys who score touchdowns, the goats who made big mistakes.
Trey Burton wouldn’t have fit any of those descriptions, not really, but he sat at a riser after Super Bowl LII anyway.
