Heisman Trophy leaves usually poised Jameis Winston speechless

That’s the message reverberating through college football in 2013. The last two Heisman winners were relative unknowns when they kicked off their eventual Heisman campaigns. In many ways college football is beginning to mirror the “one-and-done” atmosphere of college basketball, where highly touted high school prospects take the country by storm. That’s an exciting notion for fans of the sport. Which newcomer will be next season’s Jameis Winston or Johnny Manziel? Who will be next to display leadership beyond his years?

Of course, sometimes the country’s best player can’t even contain his inner child. Winning the Heisman will do that to you.

“When I grabbed the trophy, I was like, ‘This is my trophy.’” Winston said. “I was like a little kid. I was acting like I didn’t even want to pick it up. I just wanted to hug the trophy.”
