THE JOKES ARE easy enough to make between "old man" Haynes King and his position coach, the oldest man to ever win the Heisman Trophy.
Twenty-five years ago, when Chris Weinke took home the award as a 28-year-old senior, his age became a nonstop topic of conversation. Today, older quarterbacks dot the college football landscape, their advanced ages met with a collective shrug.
"Sometimes I try and mess with him and say, 'I couldn't quite catch you on the age, but I tried. I gave it my all," the 24-year-old King said of Weinke, his quarterbacks coach at Georgia Tech.
