  • texas sucks

  • Ricky is one of the best RB

  • I'm pretty sure ricky smoked some marijuana after the ceremony.

  • @Kato00a So?

  • He did a good job. Very sincere speech.

  • He never got enough of a chance in the NFL

  • Homeboy could roll a Joint and catch a football at the same time. You are a legend Ricky. This Joints for you.

  • I think he looks cute. I have SAD but I think people who have this disorder actually may look socially appealing, humble, and friendly. Even though they percieve themselves as soially inept, in fact many people are williing to be their friends if they will let them. Or that`s at least true in my case. I constatnly have turned down friendship offers for fear of rejection, I have always thought no body will be intersted in me once he knows me personally, I wish I can realize it`s all in my head.

  • This is an inspiration coming from someone with social anxiety. He someone I look up to.

  • He's so blazed here.

  • he probably didnt wanna win it just cause of his social anxiety

  • Social anxiety disorder.

  • @waazup2 im sure if you were on national television in front of millions not to mention you just won the highest award there is in college football you would be a little tilted as well

  • @kloudd No, he actually has social anxiety disorder. It's not so bad anymore.

  • Anyone bashing Ricky is a hateful piece of shit.

  • One of the most intelligent and inspiring minds in any professional sport. You are truly a joy to watch Ricky, and I will never ever forget watching you make some of the best plays in NCAA and NFL history. RUN RICKY RUN #34 FOR LIFE BABY

  • Great speech!! Wish all Heisman winners were this humble. 

  • FOOTBALL PLAYER AT DAY GAY AT NIGHT

  • I am the 100th thumbs up rating! WOOOOOO

  • Great Dolphins player.

  • there is no such thing as social anxiety ,it doesnt fucking exist you idiots. there is no proof at all that it exists even an ounce. it doesnt exist. your all so un educated. thats the biggest bullshit. this guy is very outgoing and has no anxiety

  • @SuperBlaze46 Yes because youre a genius and doctors are morons. Go play with your marbles

  • @SuperBlaze46 If you think that then obviously you don't have it. You have no idea what it is like. Look normal on the outside but on the inside it is a different story.

  • what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! social anxiety doesnt exist you dumbasses, hes not shy at all

  • just incase you guys didn't know ricky had social anxiety disorder

  • weed head

  • he can make any football team better, and thats what every coach wants

  • is this nigger gay?? the look at 1:10, then he starts talking like a total queer.. i always thought this guy was kind of a badass until i watched this.

  • @soonermagic24 ignorance is kind of funny huh? i bet ricky, the man you call a "queer" has gotten more pussy in one night as you have ever jerked off to in your life time .. i wonder if you would be talking that none sense after he stiff armed your face in the ground while trotting in the end zone

  • @MDE1045 haha he probably has, and yeah he probably would stifff arm the fuck out of me, but you gotta admit he talks kinda gay.

  • @soonermagic24 judging a book by it's cover. he is shy. You see colors of him being black and you lable him as a badass already? Wake up.

  • @deonvan no you jackass.. i knew who the fuck he was waaaaaay before i heard him talk. i said i thought he was a badass until i heard him talk. that has nothing to do with me seeing hes black, and thinking hes good.. wtf are you talking about?

  • @soonermagic24 well he is not gay. i think you probably think he is because you have a close friend that are gay and act like him, who know what you did to your friend. But he is not. Nice talking to you queer. Peace out.

  • @soonermagic24 Also the reason why i call you a queer is because i check out your profile and it say. love football, women, and fucking around with my boys. the last part is grossed!!! anyway i quit talking to you. yuck!!!

  • I know exactly how he is feeling..SA does really suck balls..

  • if he would have smoked before this he would have been way more chill but social anxiety messed him up.

  • ricky williams in one of the only black guys in the nfl that i actually understand when he gives a speech.

  • @lZarthl You can't even write one coherent sentence you stupid racist

  • @lZarthl Honestly, he actually sounds like a normal person compared to many other blacks. Not some ghetto street thug who is illiterate.

  • your a fuckin KKK, GO SUCH YOUR MOMMA'S DICK........BITCH

  • @bmore1015 Yes, this is a perfect example of the illiterate street thug with no brain, no education nothing positive to give to society.  A shame you won't ever "Bmore" like your name kid.

  • your a fuckin KKK, 

  • omg he looked so nervous

  • @gogitta25 he has social anxiety

  • much respect to ricky

  • dicky williams

  • It took balls of steel for this guy to do this.

  • How did he even do this speech??? As with someone dealing with social anxiety, i would've ran as soon as they said my name!! no joke!! lol. i applaud u ricky ur my hero...keep doing ur thing.

  • @Hellzplaygroundz you know whats funny? ur comment has 34 likes...

  • in my opinion ricky williams has and had a lot more talent than most backs in the league.

  • Michael Bishop, Tim Couch, and Cade McNown -- or, as they are known now, Mike, Tim, and Cade from the auto body shop.

  • Ricky should just DO A BARREL ROLL

  • i wonder what people would bid for him at the slave auction

  • Hook em. Thank you.

  • There is no requirement that a player make the sport his life and soul. Yeah, he was getting paid to play but he's still an individual and before saying that getting paid means he should have dedicated everything he had...How many of us don't really like our careers but continue anyway because it's the best we have. Let him be.

  • Interesting at 3:06, "Growing up I never really dreamed of playing in the NFL, but I did dream of playing college football." I know it's a bit out of context but a little sign of what came later. I really cannot stand everyone knocking him by saying that he chose to do drugs and could have been better. I know professional sports invoke passion but they are people.

  • Tim Couch hahahaha why does my team draft the worst players??

  • its awesome how ricky and cade both end up playing together on the dolphins

  • I'm not sure if he had social anxiety at this point but if he did this is an inspirational speech. This is probably the hardest thing to do for anyone with this disorder.

  • @neotri45 I have the disorder and struggled with a group mass media presentation, so if I had to do this on national television, I know I would freeze. Ricky Williams is one of the few people I feel I can relate to, outside of Barry Sanders.

  • @Trill104

    There's a difference between "SOCIAL ANXIETY" and simply not feeling like presenting a speech that you don't care much about.

    I'm also a mass media major. I have no problem with speaking, but I also don't always like speaking when is not needed. He's a realist.

    Meaning, it's conventional to thank 70 people at these events, but simpler to say 1 thanks and leave.

  • @CALICOTV301 I love Mass Media and I always try in her class and my teacher loves me, but she knows I struggle speaking in front of large crowds. I mentioned the situation because it was recent about 3 days ago. I plan on taking a public speaking class next year to get better, I hope it works for me....

  • @Trill104 Just curious...why do you struggle speaking?

    Can only be two things, not confident with what with you are presenting, or not confident with yourself. Why are you not comfy speaking? Bad experience?

  • @CALICOTV301 Yeah, growing up my mom had VERY high expectations of how I presented myself. I wasn't like my older/smoother brothers and that was a problem for her(I kept to myself). Middle School made it worse, one of my relatives taught there and tho I didn't live up to the family name(I was supposed to be a "player"), he would disclaim me.

  • I became so insecure it was hard for me to speak growing up. My confidence is wayy up but it's like those feelings come back when I have to speak in front of large crowds I'm trying to control it....College is really helping me change for the better though...

  • @Trill104 Sounds exactly like me, that's because I had the basics down packed and I was complacent. Although, once I entered the corporate world, I realized that I knew next to nothing in the big leagues. Where the PhDs used words like ambiguous or profound or convoluted to describe the plot of a novel. It was all new to me. That's when it hit me, with bad communication, I'm mute & deaf.

  • @Trill104

    One suggestion...READ A LOT! That way you pick up words, the definition, and the context. I hated to read as a kid, but as I grew older I began to pay attention to the anchorpersons, the voice-overs on commercials and so forth. Listen to how they articulate. Be confident. Omit "you knows", "ums" and "uhs" when speaking.

  • @CALICOTV301 lmao the "you knows" KILL me as soon as I get stuck it comes out lol it's almost second nature I know I got a lot of practice to do. Thanks

  • @Trill104

    Lol! Exactly! That was the first thing I learned in Pub Speaking. But, when you say "you know," your audience doesn't know and are hoping that you tell them.

    Sounds like you need a little polishing on how exactly to express yourself. You know what you want to say, you just don't know how to articulate it.

    I used to be the same exact way, which made me nervous.

    I became confident about my speech, and my appearance (meaning clothing)

  • haha theres a fool waering overalls, must be some south jig, walker number 1, ricky num 2

  • I saw a comment here that I've seen on a lot of other Ricky Williams videos and it's like "too bad he started doing drugs", or "he turned to drugs to solve his problems" or something like that.

    He smokes weed you guys...EVERYONE smokes weed...It's not like a real drug, where people get depressed and fall into drugs... It's WEED,

    EVERYONE SMOKES WEED!!!!!!!

  • damn his dreads were nasty back then lol

  • so this guy has social anxiety disorder?

  • every-time i see his name or hear him it motivates me to be a better football player.

    Ricky is the best of all time

  • still a great running back :)

    look at his spider hair lol

  • ricky williams is a beast,if he didnt get drugs,he'd be the best right now.

    he is still good thought

  • Vote this guy in the pro bowl this year! C'mon, he will have well over a 1,000 after next week

  • It's such a shame he suffered so much from social anxiety disorder. As someone who himself deals with it, I'll say that it is a very real and overwhelming feeling...and I can't even imagine how bad it is when compounded with being a celebrity under the spotlight. He could have been a first ballot hall of famer, probably even broken emmitt's record...but he turned to weed to mask his problems. He's still a great guy...just sad when you think what 'could' have been

  • Hey, don't look now, but Ricky's tearin' it up right now.

  • hes not dead

  • Watch Espn's 30 for 30 documentary on Ricky. I think it will change your opinion completely. His resurgence in the league right now should be enough to change it. Hes a devout Yogi, and a great father. I don't think anyone could have seen that 2 years after he got drafted. Him finally coming full circle should be something that everyone should admire. His personal growth and understanding of his true nature far outweigh whatever precious football stats you deem worthy.

  • 1:12 scared as fuck

  • 2 of them up there were argos at one point

  • Ricky is my uncol

  • I'm suprised that he was able to talk that well. Because he has been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder, which would make public speaking very difficult.

  • lmao look at how young and skiiny mcnabb is haha

  • that was mcnabb?

  • thats not mcnabb ahahahha

  • The man could smoke weed, and still whoop on completely sober athletes. You can look up the statistics, but its something like 60% maybe even 70% of the NFL smoke "POT" Oooo scary!!!!BLAZE ON!

  • haha Michael Bishop is a douche bag. He played for the team in my city and he fucking sucked.

  • Ricky was never charged with rape, murder, or assault, like it seems countless other NFL players have been. Ricky smoked a little bud, but got hammered in the media harder than any of those other guys.

    Fuck it Ricky. Be proud of what you've accomplished.

  • @failboat090909 I blame that asshole Ditka, anytime 1 player is a team's complete draft it put pressure on him from teamates, coaches, and the media. Anybody in that situation would've toked up.

  • mos def great dude and player aashame what happened to his carer, we wouldnt be comparing yung kids to LT is he was still in the league it would mos def be Ricky williams

  • hes makin a strong comeback though

  • Maybe so. But LT was pretty bad ass though even just 2 years ago.

  • what a damn speech. He did very well with this, and it was well deserved, aside from his pot problem hes still a good athlete.

    weed is not a performance enhancer... just so everyone knows LOL.

  • Beforemy highschool games Ilight one up been doing it the past 4 gameseach game i have had 100 yards and two touchdowns

  • this is the best sportsman speech i have ever heard

  • especially bishop

  • he seems nervous, but normal nervous. i get way more nervous than this just talkin in front of a class, much less national TV

  • thanks God then his Mom what a great guy! amazing person & amazing player

  • Social anxiety sucks

  • @Hixlol what the thing that DOESNT F UCKING EXIST!!

  • @SuperBlaze46 Doesn't exist? Shut up you don't know shit.

  • @SuperBlaze46 dude chill the hell out posting three comments on here in a row makes you look kind of anxious and you haven't even signed a multi-million contract like ricky. try putting a team or a city on your back before you come on here talking about anxiety.

  • great guy, great player!

  • I have the same social anxiety disorder and I understand Ricky...

    Not everyone wants to be a superstar the spotlight isn't for everyone including Ricky though he is famous he still deals with everyday problems like you and me...

  • you good friends with ricky? are you ricky? you know exactly how he feels?

    give me a break.

  • I think he gave a really good speech, he actually thanked his teammates and his coaches and his opponents, unlike recent winners who just say "yeah you guys were good, you are deserving of this award too" ricky actually told them how amazed he was with their talents

  • 62nd comment!

  • dis is maken me nevous watchin dis

  • Thanks for posting!

  • maybe i'm weird but he doesent seem all that nervous to me...seems like a normal young man speaking in front of a huge audience. the "normal" person would shit in their pants. wasnt like his voice was really shaky..and i didnt see any sweat tricklin down his face...

  • WHAT?! How can you not see how nervous he is when his named is called for the Heisman Trophy? Throughout his whole speech he's stuttering and slurring his words badly. I'm surprised no one was like "WTF?" because he was breathing hard before his seech. It's too bad no one got him some help before he got to the NFL. He had the potential to be in the HOF.

    Unlike Tim Couch...lmao what a joke

  • He didn't seem that nervous to me.

  • THE MAN 1:) Hehe

    But he does look scarex shtiless

  • This is actually one of his better showings in front of the media.What is in Ricky's brain?

  • check out the new miami dolphin theme song and video

  • wat disease does he have?

  • check out the new miami dolphin them song

  • While that may or may not be true (I doubt it), you're not noticing homosexual tendencies, you're noticing social anxiety in an extreemely self-concoius individual... but too stupid to understand that.

  • bitch u gay

  • poor guy he has social anxiety...

  • would you have not been scared shitless

  • yea. but he actually has been diagnosed with social anxiety....

  • anyone else think he used to look like Basquait?

  • he looks like hes going to faint at any minute, I cant wait to see him run over people and hurdle defenders in 08 for the DOLPHINS !!!

  • he got social anxiety. seems like a nice guy tho

  • "Texas has a lot to do with those two quarterbacks being here"

    Ha! Bish4thewin!

  • I've always liked him!

  • yah after seeing this I can't hate the guy...I hope he does okay enough to redeem himself in the coming football season...

  • I love Ricky Williams, seems like such a nice guy, gets way too much flack just because he smokes weed. There are guys in the NFL who committed real crimes that don't get any punishment, yet everybody always criticizes this guy just for marijuana. Hope he has a great comeback season in 08.

  • The poor guy probably uses marijuana to deal with his social anxiety. Who could fault him for that. That must be a nightmare to be famous and deal with a disorder like that! They need to leave him alone.

  • exactly what i was thinking

  • to cassl14

  • gay with two kids???? U FUCKIN RETARD!

  • klubizdashiznit --havin' kids means nothing regarding sexuality, several gay men have kids(for one reason or the other)(not saying Ricky Williams is gay, just wanted to clear that kids factor up for you). open your mind. and NO I'm not gay, just wanted to let you know.

  • You stupid is what you are... HAHA

  • He's actually pretty intelligent. He can't help but overthink what others may be thinking of him, and in large groups or on camera it gets overwhelming. It's not that he cant breathe while talking, it's not that he doesn't know what to say...

  • Yea, Ricky is awesome, I was calling someone who left a comment stupid

  • i just uploaded a ricky tribute vid i don't know if it mad it though

  • hes smacked man...

  • thats my boy but his dreads look shit-ty and he sounds really gay but the boy can play ball i look up to him

  • Fuck everyone Ricky, do what you have to do as long as you aren't hurting anyone.

  • this guy had it all man, had it all. this is why i believe you shouldnt do drugs, i mean when he prematurely retired i was completely fine with that, i can easily see some1 losing the want to play im sure most coaches and owners only like you for what you can do for them but gettin busted for drugs killed him, personally seems like one hell of a guy but i heard once that he was a complete dick to mcallister when he came in the league

  • for such a tough SOB he sounds like a nice guy.

  • michael bishop!!! ARGOOOOSSSSSSSS!!! ahhaha

  • Tim Couch LOL!!

  • why drink and drive when u can smoke and fly

  • lol

  • where da BUUUUUD at????

    jus kidding. he is an amazing individual. he gets a bad rep by conservatives when there are criminals who are still playing.

  • Ricky Williams... the nicest player in NFL history. haha. People dont like this guy? Seriously?

  • For anyone that calls ricky williams wierd for being shy are just being judgemental. He has social anxiety disorder which makes it hard for him to cope with people.

  • exactly....ppl are such retards that dont want to understand anything. but what goes around comes around and everyone who judges will get whats coming to them.

  • I like him. SO he smoked a lot of pot. that was not a wise thing to do but it's his life, his lungs. He has not hurt anybody.

  • he was even high right then.

  • Man o Man, what he could have been in the NFL

  • you can tell even way back then that he was a weird duck.

  • wow apharto congrats on being a complete fucking sheep. everyone tells you "drugs r bad loolollolo" and you just buy right into it like a simple-minded fuck. nothing is wrong with weed. worse than weed is the very legal cigarettes and booz...but since they are legal you say "oh its okay lawlz" what a complete mind-fucked probable christian. fuck christians

  • the only reason weed is illegal is because the US can't tax it because it is so easy to grow.

  • wow! he was nervous as hell! Rick is just one of shyest and most humble sports stars ever. he is a class act. I don't care what they say about him.

  • But look at him here, he's not high and he can barely talk. that was the way he was at press conferences too. he has a social phobia, and the marijuana calmed him and let him be his self.
