Individual goals never meant that much to me. The Heisman is no exception.
Any time you have a Heisman-caliber player, it just - that means he's a Heisman guy for a reason. So usually, that - for your team, that means a lot of big plays. Usually, there's a lot of wins tied to those Heisman guys, that's for sure. So it's always great when you got great players.
I always had career goals. And I figured out a path I wanted to take to accomplish those goals. If that meant calling the best modeling agency in the world, that's what it meant.
To the Heisman voters, I'm truly honored and humbled to be the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner.
I think everybody, whether they have team goals or individual goals, I think everybody would like to be the MVP of the league. But that's not what my focus is. My job is just to give everything that I have, play as hard as I can, and just try to win as much as possible. If that makes me the MVP, then so be it.
One of the most powerful sayings I have come across is by Imam ash-Shafi'I, "My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me."
I sat behind Thurman Thomas for my first couple of years, then my first year starting I won the Heisman. After I won the Heisman, that’s when things changed as far as going to the NFL.

You can look at everything from pre-Heisman to post-Heisman, and I think that’s why it ranks up at the top, because before then, I didn’t even think I was good enough to be a professional ballplayer.

Never listen to a phone call that isn't meant for you. Never read a letter that isn't meant for you. Never pay attention to a comment that isn't meant for you. Never violate people's privacy. You will save yourself a lot of anguish.
My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.
We were not having any fun, he had recently begun pointing out. I would take exception (didn't we do this, didn't we do that) but I had also known what he meant. He meant doing things not because we were expected to do them or had always done them or should do them but because we wanted to do them. He meant wanting. He meant living.
What fulfills me are the goals that I have in life. And those goals are not just about scoring goals, although the goals give me a lot of strength and happiness.
Money never meant that much to me.
Castes never meant that much to me.
It never seizes to amaze me how much I enjoy playing here and how much you fans have meant to me over the years.
