We sometimes forget who a player feels closest to on a football team. While Derrick Henry was respectful in thanking Nick Saban, he was extremely effusive and emotional when thanking Coach Burns, his position coach. He also went out of his way to thank and heap praise on Scott Cochran, his strength and conditioning coach. I''ve heard other inspirational Heisman speeches but never one where the winner expressed such genuine love for and gave heartfelt credit by name to all the assistant coaches who gave him guidance and touched his life.
