Ricky Williams' 1998 Heisman Trophy Sells at Auction for Record-Breaking $504k

The 1998 Heisman Trophy that University of Texas running back Ricky Williams won sold for a record-setting $504,000 in a Heritage Auctions sale Friday.

Williams' Heisman, the last one awarded before the Heisman Trophy Trust started requiring players to sign an agreement forbidding the sale of the trophy, topped the previous mark of $435,763 set by the 1987 Heisman of Tim Brown from Notre Dame, according to the Associated Press.

The Longhorns standout racked up 2,124 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns during the 1998 season. He added 24 catches for 262 yards and one score.
