“I would notice that the real world…it doesn't take that much [greatness] to impress the real world. It just takes all of that to be great. So, Uncle Deion…he's the greatness…you impress him. You impress your coaches. You impress them. You impress the person in the mirror. And then you look at Nebraska as the real world because it's not gonna take half as much to impress them!”

Wayne continued, “What you do is you go out there and kick they ass…you show them who you are. But, not only that: you impress them…when they walk out of there with their heads down, tell them pick their heads up…and look at y'all with their eyes wide open because that's how impressed they'll be.”
