Well that was intention of the Heisman. The trophy now goes to the best player that touches the football on a top 25 team. OL, DL, and LBs need not apply

You can't have a Heisman bust if you don't have a Heisman

Can we count September Heisman flops? Asking for a neighbor.

People make these lists all the time, but they really have nothing in common.

The NFL and College are two totally different games.

The Heisman is not a trophy naming the next great NFL Player. It is a trophy naming
the best college football player of the year.

Problem is they give it to the QB of a great team usually, instead of the actual best college football player. Hence why so many busts.

That's true also.

Paul Hornug (sp?) was probably the last Heisman Winner, that became a household name in the NFL.
Won multiple titles with the Packers, and won the Heisman playing on a 2-8 college team
his Senior Year

The list doesn't really make any sense anyway . There are a few guys on the list who have mediocre careers ranked ahead of guys who had no careers. Ty Detmer was in the league 14 years for fucks sake

The voting from that year gets me as well

Troy Smith
Darren McFadden
Brady Quinn
Steve Slaton
Michael Hart
Colt Brennan
Ray Rice
Ian Johnson
Dwayne Jarrett
Calvin Johnson

Other than Johnson and on-the-field Rice what a shit show

Still peeved McFadden didn't win it that year due to being a Sophomore, then a sophomore wins it the next year

Yeah I remember thinking he should have won that year.

once they ran the wildcat with him to beat LSU they should've just handed him the trophy.

Take Tebow off, add Manziel.

Woodson and his ascot are kinda famous.

That was one of the weakest Heisman fields in history.
