Sam Bradford, quarterback at the University of Oklahoma, was the winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy.

Colt McCoy was the quarterback at the University of Texas, 2008 Heisman Trophy runner-up, and led his team to the National Championship game in the 2009 season.

I won’t get into who your favorite college football team is…or your favorite conference.  Because I don’t care if you’re a Pac-10 guy, an Ohio State fan, or a Vol through and through…you have to respect the skill of Sam and Colt.  They’ve got some unbelievable talent.

But neither of these guys got caught up in the hype.  They have committed their lives, first and foremost, to following Jesus Christ…not to their respective college teams, not to their future NFL teams, and not to their continual improvement as athletes.

They have voluntarily placed themselves second.
