"It's kind of hard for me to understand what's going on with him right now, but from a general standpoint it's the maturity level," Abdullah said Monday. "Think before you act. Understand the bigger picture. Everything that you do, say or how you present yourself can have dire consequences. That's something I feel like he definitely needs to assess more."

Abdullah, a 21-year-old senior, said the 20-year-old sophomore Winston seems to lack common sense.

 

"He's a very intelligent young man," Abdullah said, "but he's made his fair share of mistakes. It gets to the point where you feel like he needs to start understanding and take things more seriously because these things can alter what happens in his future."

 

Abdullah added: "Every situation you do, you represent not only yourself, the university, your family, people who go to the university. So being that guy who's the star down there, he holds much bigger weight than he realizes sometimes. ... I know he's much better than what he's shown."

It would be a shame if Ameer doesn't get the Heisman. He's got the talent, the numbers, and most of all the character. Just imagining the speech he would give excites me.

Winston is an nfl suspension waiting to happen

I'm not saying that Abdullah will win the Heisman. I do know that Winston won't.

 

But if Abdullah continues the path he is on, voters will take his character into consideration given everything that is in the media today with the NFL and college. And that's a good thing.

I hope so, because given some of the people who've won it in the past, it needs to have some of the "shine" put back on it. Let's just keep winning games so we know he has a chance!

On and off the field he's an MVP. Give this man the trophy he deserves!

I love it that these words were spoken by a Nebraska player.

Great job Ameer. Maybe if some of these pre madonna players get called out by other players, it will mean more to them and they will realize what idiots they are.
