As expected, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III better known as RG3 won the 77th annual Heisman trophy Saturday night receiving 280 more votes than Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. This is the first time ever a Baylor player has won the Heisman trophy.
“This is unbelievably believable,” Griffin said. “It’s unbelievable because in the moment we’re all amazed when great things happen. But it’s believable because great things don’t happen without hard work.”
FoxNewsSports reports:
Right before his name was called, Griffin took a deep breath. When it was announced he broke into a bright smile. Then it was hugs all around, for his coaches, his parents, his sister and his fiance.
He took a few long strides up to the stage and let out a laugh when he got there, making a joke about the Superman socks – complete with capes on the back – he was wearing before going into his acceptance speech.
Griffin received 405 first-place votes and 1,687 points.
