Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson spoke to Friday's Big Ten Kickoff Luncheon crowd, and you can watch his speech right here in this post. People attending the luncheon quickly turned to Twitter and applauded Robinson's performance.

Among his popular remarks, Robinson said, "My motto is: It's my goal to make somebody's day every day." Robinson also said, "Trust me, I'm not perfect. Just ask Coach Hoke. I drive you crazy way too often, right Coach?" Robinson also drew applause when he said, "Character is who you are when no one else is watching. It's easy when you know the camera is on us to do the right thing but it may be tougher at other times. This year, because of that, I became aware of how big our platform can be. I met the President of the United States and I met LeBron James and they both knew who I was."

There's a full transcript of his speech at ESPN's Michigan football page.

MGoBlue.com recorded some short clips with Robinson during the two-day event. We've posted them below here.
