That boy gave the most selfless heisman speech I’ve ever heard. He even thanked damn Ohio State. Maybe it’s the 60 years since we’ve had a heisman winner...or the appreciation he’s shown both LSU and Louisiana...or a combination of the two and more..but that speech hit me in the chest.



maybe it was seeing the cockiness/arrogance all year on the field, and then he completely broke down. a true sign of humility. most people dont have that characteristic until later in life, maybe never.

Think that’s what got me. Seeing him unflappable and poised all year and finally breaking down in that moment. You realized the gravity of the situation for him and the weight of carrying two seasons on his shoulders as the team leader.
