"I get an opportunity to go to LSU and f--k it up. Completely f--k it up. I get into the NFL and I walk in a straight line…and get injured. This is my test. Not too many people have my story. And this is my story: A guy goes from unknown to a Heisman Trophy finalist. He gets kicked out of school. He absolutely rebounds himself. He becomes a millionaire. He's taking care of his family. And then he's getting injured.
"How can he get back to the top of that mountain? People never do it. You've seen guys go, and then drop off. They never returned."
Beep!
"I will, though."
My favorite player ever.

Same. 
"I'm 18, 19. I would literally walk into the store for a sandwich and a bag of chips, and I'd put my money out to pay for it, and I didn't have to pay for it," he says. "I had all these things given to me. And I had teachers, they'd give me things if I signed an autograph, signed a football. I didn't know how to handle this, man. I was a rock star. I was the president of Baton Rouge, Louisiana."
"It happened too fast for me. … Way too fast for me."

Terrific article.
Tyran deserves a lot of respect for pulling himself out of the ditch.
One of my favorite players ever, and certainly one of the most impactful defensive players ever in college.
