Beanie the campus bigshot
There's no question tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells is a big man on campus at Ohio State. He gets stopped for autographs and advice, pictures and progress reports, all the time.
Here's what a day in his life is like:
"It was funny, because (Monday, Sept. 29) there was a group of kids, like elementary school kids, and they all recognized me. I stopped and I signed autographs," he said. "Then, once the little kids recognized me, then some older kids recognized me and I stopped and signed autographs for like 30 more minutes."
He also said he is frequently asked for autographs by classmates.
"I give it to them. It's an honor and a blessing for me to be in the position I'm in today," he said. "You always have to remember what it's like to be a kid, for one. And just to be thankful to be in the position that you're in. You never want to take it for granted."
