Vince Young & Andrew Luck immediately spring to mind.

Young was electric, but I've never seen a more picture-perfect NFL-style college QB than Luck. He might have been the only player I made a point to be at the TV for late Saturday nights.

Vince Young for me. Guy didn't have much of a pro career but in college he was pretty good.

Season - I am homering this one, Shonn Greene - He rushed 100 yards in every single game in 2008, he just started the season as a nobody and Iowa went 9-5 that season. Last time someon rushed 100 yards in every game of the season/postseason, you need to go back 30 years ago.

Career - Drew Brees - 3 years as a starter (24-13, 16-8). 3 years before he played in any games (11-19-3, 6-15-3)

Least impressive Heisman winner: Derrick Henry. Dalvin Cook was better and didn't even get an invite that year. Not to mention Cook lit up their common opponents (Clemson and UF) like Henry never did AND Cook was a really good receiver.

Bianchi: Dalvin Cook deserves Heisman more than Derrick Henry

In the last 35 years, there have been two Power 5 running backs to rush for at least 1,600 yards and average 7.9 yards per carry. Their names are Reggie Bush and Dalvin Cook.

In terms of not winning / being considered - Michael Vick- changed the college qb landscape in terms of "dual threat"

He did not have the type of rushing numbers at VT that I thought he did.
