6 Heisman Winners

\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nWinning the Heisman is a great honor, but it doesn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’t automatically mean that you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’ll go on to do great things in the NFL. What it does do is help you get picked sooner in the draft, but even then, having that trophy doesn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’t mean that you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’ll automatically make top five.\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nAnd of course, there have been some major Heisman flops too! Since we talked about flops last week, though, let\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’s instead focus today on Heisman winners who went on to have great NFL careers. Here are my top 6 Heisman winners:\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n

\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n
1. Barry Sanders, 1988

\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n

2. Marcus Allen, 1981

\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n

3. Carson Palmer, 2002

\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n

4. Tony Dorsett, 1976

\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n

5. Herschel Walker, 1982

\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n

6. O.J. Simpson, 1968 (whatever you want to say about him personally, he was an EXCELLENT football player!)

\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nWho would you put on this list?\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nNote: I know, today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’s entry is super late. I was at an Obama Rally all afternoon and evening! If you live in Pennsylvania, don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’t forget to head to the polls on Tuesday!
