Morning links: How Tom Hackett won the internet last night and how Bronco could win $1 million

Utah's Tom Hackett poses with the trophy after winning the Ray Guy Award for being the nation's top punter at the College Football Hall of Fame, Thursday, Dec. 10, 2015, in Atlanta.

Moments after he won the Ray Guy Award for the second time as the nation's top punter Thursday night, University of Utah senior Tom Hackett spoke with ESPN's Chris Fowler.

True to what Ute fans have come to know as the norm for the Aussie, Hackett offered up a witty comment when discussing why he plays American football now instead of Aussie rules football.

"The main reason I'm playing this sport right now is 'cause deep down, I'm fat, and I don't like running very fast," he said.
