The Coolest Guy In College Football Lives Here

ATLANTA -- I'm pretty sure I met the coolest guy in college football Monday, and his name isn't Kirk Herbstreit or Pete Carroll. He's Georgia Tech center Sean Bedford.

He's just your typical fourth-year junior who wasn't heavily recruited, thought about walking on at Notre Dame, then walked on at Tech as a defensive lineman, then was moved to offensive line as a backup, now finds himself starting and still finds time to study for his aerospace engineering and pre-law courses.

He's also active with various charitable groups around town and turns out to be a heck of a nice kid and a great interview to boot.

In the clip below, Bedford talks about intangible qualities like heart and perseverance and how they helped him go from scout-team scrapper to a recent ACC Lineman of the Week honor.
