The dude is the epitome of a football player. Scrappy, tough as nails, plays bigger than his measurables and endears his teammates to follow him. He wears his emotions on his sleeves and stays true to himself.

Best pure leader of men in CFB since 2008 Tim Tebow, albeit from a polar opposite style.

It's a bunch of head in the sand "purists" and politically correct a-holes that have the benefit of either old age distorting their memories of what "class" was or a millenial version of what it should be that have raised issue with him.

OU isn't a CFP team without him. He was the most valuable player to his team this year. Very deserving of all accolades.

His criticisms are justified to a degree, but highly blown out of proportion.

My regret is only one up vote to give. And it has nothing to do with their opponent. The kid leaves it all on the field. He got shite this whole year and he threw it in everyone’s face. A true team leader. Show me someone on OU that wouldn’t go into battle behind that guy. That’s a testament of a leader

I disagree that teammates will respect him in the NFL if he keeps this up.

QBs have to be great decision makers. They have to command attention with respect. Some may respect him. But some may not. And dissension and distraction in an NFL locker room is rat poison.
