Kendall Marshall may be out for the season with a torn ACL but he does have a reason to smile. He will be eating free Chipotle burritos for the rest of the year.

Marshall is not the first person to get this exclusive card as other professional athletes like Russell Wilson and Byrce Harper have gotten similar cards from Chipotle. When Harper got his card, Yahoo’s The Stew reached out to Chipotle to learn more about this prestigious honor.
"“The celebrity card program is small,” Chipotle communications director Chris Arnold told The Stew in an e-mail. “And we don’t really share enough detail on it to make much of a story out of it.”"
While Chipotle was being sly with The Stew, Sports Business Daily provides more details on the Chipotle celebrity card.
"Chipotle waits for well-known people to express an affinity for the company’s food either privately or publicly, and then sends them a card that gives them a free burrito a day. The company asks for nothing in return for the favor, but many high-profile athletes have taken to social media to sing the company’s praises after receiving one."
This seems to be exactly why Marshall was rewarded.
So Kendall, in the classic words of the Nerdist podcast, “Enjoy your burrito.”
