Oh my, no.

I mean, you see Baker on the street, I'd never suspect he was an award winning football player, much less the QB.

The Burls, he was a great player, wore black rimmed glasses that made him look like Clark Kent. Congrats to Baker and good luck in the playoffs.

Brandon Burlsworth, the guy the award is named after.

Congrats Baker!

Baker is already one of my favorite Sooners and I don't say that casually. He is special. Congrats, Baker! More to come. Boomer!

Drew Carey, right?

I thought the same thing. LOL

He does kind of look like him. I believe he was killed in a car crash just days after he was drafted in the nfl. I remember when it happened and seeing it on the news back in the mid 90's I believe.
