  • He led FBS this year in receptions in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.

  • He's just 611 75 and last night he took a moment to address kids like him in his Heisman speech.

  • Tall the young kids out there.

  • That's not the biggest, not the strongest.

  • Just keep pushing because I'm not the biggest.

  • I've been doubted a lot just because of my size.

  • And really, it just comes down to you.

  • Put your mind to it.

  • You can do it.

  • No job is too big.

  • If you put your mind to it, you can do it and just keep believing in God and you'll get what you wanna be.

  • He is the first wide receiver to win the Heisman Trophy since Desmond Howard.

  • And if only we had Desmond Howard to react and give some thoughts on that.

  • Oh, how nice we have Desmond Howard way.

  • Eso There's obviously was a great speech.

  • Last night was a great moment.

  • He was well deserving to beat the quarterbacks for this award.

  • Very athletic.

  • Former Hooper reminds me of Marvin Harrison that he's really smooth when you see him.

  • The first thing that jumps out your mind is Wow.

  • He's a really smooth route runner, Like I said, great hand eye coordination.

  • And then Stevie Breaston, body crying along kind of slender.

  • They call him the Slim Reaper because he's out there, Take your body, killing the souls on the gridiron.

  • S o e.

  • Think he's a combination of Marvin Harrison, Stevie Breaston and the sky's The limit for this young man.

  • Just an incredible talent like you, said Greeny.

  • When you go into a competition like this and you beat out three quarterbacks, it speaks volumes to the talent that this young man has.

  • He is also from the state of Louisiana, which means somewhere along the line, Ryan Clark had to have coached him in something that just seems to be That always seems to be the case.

  • Brian, Your thoughts.

  • Well, you're absolutely right.

  • Listen, he played.

  • The thing with the team is the Louisiana bootleggers, and we have a 70 17.

  • It's had Odell Beckham Jr.

  • You've had Jarvis, Landry, Dante Jackson.

  • Obviously, um, now we're talking about Devante Smith, and Jimmy Smith, who runs the team, takes me talking about how many times he cried last night.

  • But he spoke about him being a top three player on that team that's filled with first rounders.

  • And it said that this award was Maura, about the person Devante had always been than the actual player.

  • And Desmond said all of the reasons why he's special at the position.

  • But you think about this when he, when he goes to this school, when he commits Alabama Jerry Judy commits there.

  • Henry rugs commits there, and those guys go in the first round, and he waited his turn.

  • He was good then, but now he's showing you that he is the best of the bunch.

  • He continued to work.

  • He continued to improve, and now he's the best player in the country.

  • And from what I hear about DeVante and what I know about him, he's always been the best person for that opportunity.
