'I ain't no animal, and I ain't going to eat no plant.'

I have a new favorite football player. No, it's not the guy that wants to use his first NFL paycheck to buy an IHOP, it's Willie Williams, formerly of the University of Miami.

In order to fully understand how truly cool Willie Williams is you need to read the full article. But if you just need a taste of how cool Willie is, here is a snippet of the article.

"Williams' Auburn trip was not quite as lavish. Although he was escorted around by the beautiful young "Tigerettes," who serve as a "host committee" of sorts for potential recruits, Williams had to wait too long at a nice restaurant for his order--baby-back ribs, buffalo wings, and shrimp.

While waiting, one Tigerette offered Williams some of her spinach dip.

"You know how it is, those girls are supposed to be there to cheer you up," Williams said. "But I told them, 'I ain't no animal, and I ain't going to eat no plant.'

"But they kept pushing it toward me. It was disgusting. I told them, 'I'm from Miami. I don't eat that. You farm people are used to it, but not me."

Do yourself a favor and read the rest of the article. It is too good to miss.

So, what were his numbers like before he decided to leave Miami?
