    Just seen it on sportscenter, White will be known as a college great and a no buddy in the NFL.

    Wow, complete, and total surprise to me, I didn't see this coing at all. He said he doesn't have the knees to play in the NFL. This is sad to hear, he could have been a pretty good player, good luck in whatever else you do!<u>For anybody who hasn't seen/heard/read anything about it!</u><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Heisman winner White gives up football Click here to find out more!NFL.com wire reportsNASHVILLE, Tenn. (Aug. 11, 2005) -- Former Heisman Trophy winner Jason White ended his professional career, citing his weak knees.White, who had been competing for third quarterback with the Tennessee Titans, said he has the head and heart to play in the NFL. He doesn't have the knees."It's always been a dream of mine, but certain things won't allow me to chase that dream," White said. "It's kind of out of my hands at this point."White won the Heisman Trophy in 2003 and led Oklahoma to back-to-back BCS title games. He also won the Davey O'Brien award twice and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm title and is Oklahoma's career passing leader with 7,922 yards and in touchdown passes with 81.</div>[Full Article]

    Yes he should have won the Heisman. He was a very good QB, but just had some very unlucky injuries. Not his fault.

    Poor guy. I bet it must have broken his heart to have to retire. Would have been the biggest Heisman to NFL bust since Dayne!
