The former Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman winner will have a statue of himself placed outside of Memorial Stadium at Oklahoma’s Heisman Park. The 10-foot bronze statue was unveiled Saturday at the Sooner Spectacular gala. “I never thought I’d be standing here giving a speech in front of a statue of myself,†Bradford told The Tulsa World. “Pretty cool, though.†Bradford will join other Sooner Heisman winners Billy Vessels, Steve Owens, Billy Sims and Jason White. The statue will officially be dedicated this fall before an Oklahoma game. In 2008, Bradford beat out Texas’ Colt McCoy and Florida’s Tim Tebow to win the Heisman Trophy. That season, Bradford threw for 4,720 yards and 50 touchdowns. Oklahoma faced Florida in the BCS Championship Game, which Tebow's Gators won, 24-14.

FSUViking 184 Posted May 16, 2011 This country has gone batshit crazy with putting up statues of athletes. MJ, Bill Russell, The Babe, Bear Bryant, Gretzky....they're one thing. But Cam fucking Newton? Sam Bradford? Give me a break. How about a statue for SEAL Team 6? Guys who actually deserve eternal admiration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
