Who he is: The first freshman Heisman Trophy winner, this Texas A&M quarterback earned his "Johnny Football" moniker in 2012, accounting for 47 touchdowns in 13 games and setting a new record for most rushing yards - 229 yards, to be exact - by a QB in a bowl game.

Life after the Heisman: Describing achieving his dream of winning the coveted trophy as "beyond words," Manziel has big goals moving forward. "I want to bring a national championship to A&M. It's something that means a lot to me."

Staying grounded: "My friends, family, teammates, and the coaches I interact with - nothing's changed with any of them. They do a great job of making sure I don't change in any way."

Sports idols: Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers

Off the field: "I'm a big golfer. If things get a little stressed, I go out with a group of guys and play some golf, or go hunt. Just get away for a little bit."
