One of the reasons I really like Marcus, he is such an unassuming, modest guy. He doesn’t flaunt his professional football exploits, drives an old beater truck that he gets his sister-in-law to work on for him.

Daddy did good by him.

Do the winners get a Heisman trophy to keep?

Marcus sounds humble.

That would make Marcus really remarkable since they’ve only given the Heisman to only one primarily defensive player (Charles Woodson) in their entire history…

OJ stole it.

Does Clarence feel a need to bask in reflected glory from Marcus?

Always find it interesting see peoples I Heart Me walls. Personally I love Marcus’s approach. The only thing that would be better is if he had something there that was given by a fan.

The Heisman is more important to his brother (braggimg rights) than to Marcus. To him it’s just another trophy he’s won over the years.

Funny!

I recall a winner having their award revoked

Look for it on eBay.

Very nice!

They went to visit Ricky Williams one night, Carson Palmer the next and Matt Leinart the next. A few days later, Marcus asked his wife why his Heisman was in the attic. “Everyone’s got one!” she said

Marcus ought to hang the first dollar he ever made in a frame in the background. I’m sure he still has it.

It looks like he has the same Zoom decorator as John Oliver.

I like Clarence. No pretension about past successes.

“Oh, right! I’ve been using it as a door stop.”

Marcus is humble in that he doesn’t want to draw attention to his career, but he is a cheapskate.

You keep track of what matters to you. Bragging rights doesn’t mean bragging is mandatory.
