Title: AJ McCarron accepts 2013 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award (Video)
Post by: pmull on December 18, 2013, 02:52:48 PM
AJ McCarron won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and it was awarded to him last Friday at a banquet in his honor. The Unitas family said it was the best speech given in the history of the award. The video is about 10 minutes long and worth watching. AJ always handles himself well and represents the University with class.

Outstanding! AJ is as humble and appreciative of life and what it's given him, as anyone I've ever seen.

Nearly dying at the age of 4 will do that to you.

Calling AJ humble is an understatement for this young man. I know the recovery from his injury was a miracle but I also think that him meeting Nick Saban was another miracle. CNS took him as a raw piece of clay and molded him into the fine young man that he is today and AJ now knows how to say thank you and mean it. We will always remember AJ as a fine example of what Bama players should be like, proud and humble.

I love how he defined the award as a "pure" award and not a bunch of statistics. :clap:

Great job by a fine young man.  The team player as he give credit to his coaches and team mates.  I think that wherever AJ's path takes him, he will be successful.  Bama has been fortunate to have this young man represent them.  Congrats to AJ.

His statement about his restaurant license made me wonder what type. Like a steak, or country or wings or maybe a sports bar/ restaurant.

And will it be in Tuscaloosa or Mobile? Or maybe in the city where he will be playing pro ball?
