When Ricky Williams retired from the NFL, pro football fans remarked on his all-over-the-place legacy, which mostly meant talking about Mike Ditka in a dress and Canada and marijuana. All of which sounds like a real great party.
But college fans also get to remember Williams as one of the best players of all time, and Texas Longhorns fans especially so. At Texas' 2012 spring game, the Horns revealed Williams' statue at Darrell K. Royal Stadium:
Marked in the grounds of DKR forever. Longhorn Legend Ricky Williams gets his statue to mark his greatness. #longhorns twitter.com/LonghornNetwor…

Williams commented on the occasion, saying he's proud to be back and that he challenged current Texas players to earn statues of their own. Earl Campbell and Royal himself were among those on hand.
While we're here, let's watch some college football videos from SB Nation's new YouTube channel together:
