  Even though he initially promised it to his mother, Ameer Speed keeps his national championship ring with him at Michigan State. It doesn't come out often, but it serves as a reminder. Of how to build success. Of goals ahead in his final season of college football. "I didn't I want to use that as a way of me leading. I want to lead you by showing you what I was doing and how I worked or how I learned," the senior transfer from Georgia said after practice Thursday. "I wanted to use that instead of saying, 'Oh I have a ring.' I don't bring my ring out or really show it around much. People usually have to say, 'Let me see your ring,' and then maybe I'll hear show them here and there." That means becoming a leader for the Spartans and improving their weakest area last season, the nation-worst pass defense, are among the items atop Speed's goal board. So are becoming an All-Big Ten player and winning the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top cornerback.

And Speed said he senses his words carry some weight with his new teammates after having won it all in January, weeks before leaving the Bulldogs to reunite with coach Mel Tucker at MSU. "That's on my board, too, is another national champion," the native of Jacksonville, Florida, said. "I feel like being able to say you won a national championship at two schools is awesome, and I don't know if anybody's done it before yet. I think that would just be an amazing accomplishment to have just for me and for my family. "I first got here, everyone was saying it a lot, how it matters...It was definitely fun to talk about it and be able to experience it, but that was the past. I'm trying to get another one. I want to bring that here and experience that with these guys." - Lansing State Journal
