Lamar Jackson tends to steer clear of the mall these days.Never much for being the center of attention, at least off the field, Louisvilles star quarterback and Heisman Trophy front-runner says he has been laying even lower than usual because when he does go out he often draws crowds.When Im not at the stadium, Im in my room, Jackson said.Jackson has become one of college footballs most recognizable players the first two months of the season. He enters November as a prohibitive favorite to become Louisvilles first Heisman winner.The latest odds from online casino Bovada have Jackson as the 1/3 favorite ahead of Clemsons Deshaun Watson and Michigans Jabrill Peppers, who are both 9/2.After leading Louisville to a last-minute, game-winning touchdown against Virginia last Saturday, Jackson again received all seven first-place votes from a panel of AP sports writers in this weeks Heisman watch.Jackson was also not much for talking to the media last year as a freshman and he still doesnt have a lot to say during interviews. Just as he has worked to get better as a player, Jackson has also worked to become more comfortable being the face and voice of his team.He has the standard response to the Heisman questions down pat.We just try to win games, Jackson said during a conference call with reporters Monday. We dont really dwell on the Heisman and stuff like that. Dont get me wrong. Itll be a great thing if it comes to the program.Four more games of doing what hes done all season should do it for Jackson and the Cardinals.Heres how AP college football writers rank the Heisman contenders going into Week 10:1. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville (21 points)Last week: Jackson threw for 361 yards and four touchdowns against Virginia, despite a bunch of dropped passes by his receivers and penalties by his line. Simply put, Louisville would have lost without him.This week: at Boston College. The Eagles have one of the better defenses in the country, allowing 4.93 yards per play. But against just Power Five opposition, that number jumps 6.26.2. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson (9 points)Last week: Watson threw for 378 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against Florida State. And again he was great late.This week: Syracuse. The Orange have the worst defense in the ACC and allowed 610 total yards to Jackson in September.3. Jake Browning, QB, Washington (5 points)Last week: Browning was solid (186 yards passing, two touchdowns and an interception), not spectacular, in a victory against Utah.This week: at California. The Bears are 11th in the Pac-12 in defense (6.31 yards per play).4. Jabrill Peppers, LB, Michigan (4 points)Last week: Peppers ran for a touchdown, scored a defensive 2-point conversion, made seven tackles and had a sack in a win against Michigan State.This week: Maryland. Will Peppers get more than the six offensive touches he had last week?5. Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State (2 points)Last week: Cook had 169 yards rushing and four touchdowns on just 19 carries against Clemson. He is fourth in the nation in yards from scrimmage (180 per game).This week: at North Carolina State. The Wolfpack held up OK against Watson and not well at all against Jackson.6. Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State (1 point)Last week: Pumphrey ran for 223 yards, his fourth 200-yard game, against Utah State and is on pace for 2,203 yards in 12 games. That would be the fourth-best total in FBS history. And thats not counting a likely Mountain West title game and bowl.This week: Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors are 10th in the Mountain West in run defense and allow 5.4 yards per carry.Three more to watch:- Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU. He had only 31 yards on 19 carries against Alabama last season. If he can figure out the top-ranked Crimson Tide on Saturday, hell be back in the Heisman race.- J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State. He gets another prime-time game with No. 9 Nebraska coming to Columbus.- Jonathan Allen, DE, and Jalen Hurts, QB, Alabama. The big game could give a boost to either or both Tide stars.---Poll panel: AP Heisman watch panel: National Writer Paul Newberry, Georgia; Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins, Texas; Sports Writer John Marshall, Arizona; Sports Writer Joedy McCreary, North Carolina; Sports Writer Eric Olson, Nebraska; Sports Writer Steve Megargee, Tennessee; College Football Writer Ralph D.

Phil Niekro Jersey . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Darius Slay fought it at first. He didnt want to cry, even though it was one of the more emotionally happy days for the Detroit Lions cornerback. He wanted to hold it in and then, he couldnt anymore.So in the moments after he signed a four-year extension -- sources told ESPNs Adam Schefter the deal is worth $50.2 million -- Slay broke down and cried.I tried to hold the tears in, but I couldnt too long, just because of where I came from, Slay said. Shed a couple tears, talked to [Glover Quin]. Cried on GQs shoulder for a second. Hes seen me as a pup, as a young guy, saw me coming up and doing this right now, give credit to him and [Rashean Mathis].They built me up into the guy I am.After Slay signed the deal, he said he first told Quin. Then he called Mathis, who mentored him during his first three seasons in the league before retiring this offseason. Then Slay had to get back to work, so he didnt even get a chance to call his mom to tell her the news.He figures she knows by now.She probably saw it on ESPN, Slay said. At the end of last season, Slay said he wanted to remain in Detroit for a long time -- part of the reason he wanted to get a deal done before the start of training camp.This offseason, Slay switched agents from the late Eugene Parker to Drew Rosenhaus and made it clear he wanted to get a deal done to stay with the Lions.The deal also marks the Lions first major extension under new general manager Bob Quinn.Slay, 25, emerged as one of the best corners in the NFC last season, when he had 58 tackles and two interceptions. By the end of last season, teams were actively throwing away from Slay as he began to earn a reputation as a shutdown cornerback.By the end of last season, Slay was traveling on the field, covering tthe opponents top receiver on every play.ddddddddddddHe came a long way from his rookie season in 2013, when he was benched for free agent Rashean Mathis, who eventually became Slays mentor on and off the field.Slay rebounded to become a starter in 2014 and then an emerging star last season. He also knows that the key to making a bigger name for himself is to create turnovers.Ive got to have interceptions, Slay said in June. I gots to have em. Ill be knocking the ball down, do all that. When its time to make the big plays, turn the ball over, I need to be a turnover machine. Thats what Richard Sherman is. Thats what [Patrick Peterson] is. Thats what all the best ones do; they just turn the ball over.Slay has four career interceptions and has focused on his hands this offseason, often catching balls off the JUGS machine after practices and working on catching the ball whenever he has some downtime.It was something that we wanted to get done as soon as possible, ideally before training camp started, said Lions team president Rod Wood. Im really, really glad that it worked out. A lot of people worked really hard on it from our side and Darius side, and Im glad it got done.Wood said thats the plan, in terms of re-signing their own guys to stick around long-term after building through the draft. He said its a lot easier when you know the guy.After losing Ndamukong Suh in free agency in 2015 and having Calvin Johnson retire this year, Wood said there was no added pressure to make sure Slays contract was done well before he would reach free agency, but that Slay did earn his contract and the team is glad the extension is done.
