C Mac
Vince young
Christian McCaffery
saqoun
Saquan Barkley
Melvin Gordon rushed for 2500 yards in a season, broke the single game rushing record that season and was only a couple attempts away from breaking the single season record.
**** I edited and recorded all these Heisman videos the same day. I completely mixed up Charles Woodson and Desmond Howard. I am aware up the mistake
Fitzgerald was on the 03 Pitt team not 13
You should pin this comment
@@GOATexp yea cuz i was just about to say something about that
Troy Davis had 2 2,000 yard season and never won a Heisman, he definitely deserved it in 1996.
Didn't he also have back to back losing seasons? If not him then Jonathan Taylor should be held in higher regard
The only reason he didnât win it was bc the team was garbage, it honestly makes it that much more impressive knowing how bad that team was. Everyone knew he was getting the ball and heâd still torch they ass
@@jackrunyan7478 eh, he won 2 and 3 games. Empty stats if u ask me
@@Zach-gq9cw Troy couldnât do any thing about winning those amount of game the defense aloud 36 points a game in 96.
Those are empty stats, their team should be in contention for a conference title at least.
Leaving Adrian Peterson off this list makes it invalid.
Agreed
Adrian Peterson shouldn't have won the Heisman though...
@@sterlingwilliams8645 yea he should of
@@kelsiejackson6757 What year should Peterson have won?
@@00ghostcobra 2004 his freshman year
Suh defenitly, he nearly took down Texas single handedly. Amon Green either his freshmen or junior year should have won. Any memeber of the scoring explosion could have won (Roizer won it of the 3, But Gill and Fryer were as deserving IMO).
I was literally about to comment Suh lol đ he was a beast
I agree! Suh is the most dominant defensive player iâve ever seen
Yes sir, Suh was a beast
Peyton Manning lost against Charles Woodson not Desmond Howard but donât worry about it still a great video
And I think Peyton never beat Florida while he was in college which hurt him. Charles Woodson had a really good year
This guy clearly has no idea what he's talking about. Proved that 30 seconds into the video by actually suggesting McCaffrey should have won it over the current 2x NFL rushing leader.
@@AK-sq1jl yes because the voters could predict the future. And maccafrey literally was everywhere on the field
@@WDGDJ_ Didn't need to predict the future. He had 200 more yards rushing and 20 more tds in than McCaffrey in college too. Doesn't matter he didn't have any receiving yards because that isn't what he was used for and he wasn't needed for that because he's one of the greatest RBs of all time.
@@AK-sq1jl And he played in the fucking SEC against LSU,Auburn,Florida,Georgia,Texas A&M and so on. What defense did Stanford play against
Charles Woodson was amazing, he deserved the Heisman. I think a lot of times people look back after a player flourished in the pros and are surprised they didnt win. Much in the way that people laugh about Drew Henson starting over Tom Brady at Michigan. Brady wasnât the same player in college, he was basically a game manager.
Havenât watched the video yet, but Todd Gurley was well on his way to a heisman. Bullshit suspension and the ACL ruined it though
This video screams Christian McCaffrey and Larry Fitzgerald all over it
yep
And Kellen Moore
Derrick Henry was for sure better than McCaffrey.
@@mikesneed4102 Ewww...
@@Ryan-ci6es christian McCaffrey set the NCAA record for all time yards! Henry had a better team which helped his stats too. If they had they same season on different teams christian would have won.
Adrian Peterson shouldâve won his freshman year with over 1900 yards of rushing and about 20 touchdowns. On top of that Adrian didnât even play the first two games of the season, if he wouldâve played those games he wouldâve been well over 2000 yards.
I think the only reason Peyton lost the award to Woodson was because he was such a dominant player for his positions, he was basically the whole defense and a major part of that offense as a receiver. Michigan also that year went to the Rose Bowl, and won.
Won the national championship get it right
@@23zonebg Nebraska would've destroyed them, get it right.
@@TaintedNimbus Nebraska played a weak schedule. Michigan would have raped them just like we do now every year
@@TaintedNimbusthey only won the coaches poll because they felt bad someone passed away an Ap poll is the only poll that really had meeting it's like the runner up poll don't act like Nebraska was ever the same level as Michigan that program is a joke
In all fairness Mccaffereys stats are better because heâs in the PAC-12. Not the SEC. the best team in the PAC 12 would be about middle of the pack in the SEC.
Then why donât more players total nearly 4,000 yards in a season?
@@HarrisHighlights Henry had more team success and was in the better conference
@@HarrisHighlights not to mention the body of work. 147 against ranked 20 Wisconsin, 148 against ranked 8 georgia, 236 against ranked 9 texas A&M, 210 against ranked 4 LSU.
Says who? Alabama thanks to their oline specifically just dominates the sec almost every year since 2009. Henry did nothing but run through huge holes. It's easy to call a conference the best when they just play each other. Look at sec this season they were called the best and had 2 teams in the playoffs. And big 10 was called the second best. Yet pre conference games and bowl games proved that big 10 was the worst and sec was the second worst of the major conferences. Yet those 2 conferences were the only big conference that took up the playoffs just cause they were claimed to be the best without any proof.
Iâm pretty sure Manning lost to Charles Woodson
he did he messed up
Both great players at their positions đ. Should both have đ won
I love how you suggest that âwell If they just put Mccaffrey in at the goal line heâd have 21 tdâsâ
Well what if Saban let Henry return kicks?????
Henry was the rightful Heisman. Heâs proving still by leading the NFL in rushing 2 straight years.
Henry also played better competition
Yes sir preach that truth!!!
Absolute garbage take
Take both players off their team and see what happens. Alabama does not need Henry as much as Stanford needed Christian.
@@g-dub7695 so if they swapped teams youâd change your mind and say Henry deserved the Heisman ????
Henry is beast. No comparison
Ndamukong Suh should have won the heisman in 2009
the right person won in 2009
I agree, Suh was the most dominant defensive player that year
Terrell Pryor should have won in 09.
đ
The Heisman trophy is for mere mortals... Suh is a demi-god.
Really several people should have won it over Ingram that year. Gerhart, and Mccoy especially should have won it over Ingram.
McCaffrey was nearly invisible when Stanford got upset opening week, and Stanford was nationally irrelevant the rest of the year. Henry literally carried Alabama to a championship. If you understand analytical value in football youâd know successful goal line carries far outweighs all-purpose yards skewed by largely meaningless kick return yardage.
Irrelevant? How about number 6 going against number 5 Iowa in the Rose Bowl while beating them, CMC dominating the whole game
@@lsutigernation9024 that was after the Heisman ceremony. Stanford played their way out of the playoff conversation week 1 against Northwestern and were never mentioned again aside from playing other teams with playoff hopes. Because of that, McCaffrey didnât seriously get into the heisman conversation until Henry had already basically locked it up.
"Carried them", how did Henry carry alabama? By running through holes never having to lower the head? You literally and I'm not exaggerating i men literally put any runningback with similar speed and have the exact same results. Alabama is always up there with or without Henry anyways. Lol
Vince Yiung should have won the Heisman one of the best dual threat QBs in the nation at the time
Rumor is they offered it to Vince Young when Reggie Bush was qualified but Young would not accept the Award.
Of all time, not just at the time. And not just one of, but the one.
@@johnharris6655there is a whole documentary dedicated to Texasâ 05 season and it was very apparent how badly VY wanted that award not just for himself, but for his team. It was out of his hands. They donât âofferâ you the award.
Michael Bishop at Kansas State in 1998. He was a decade ahead of the game.
So MaCaffery played against papier-mùché defenses and Henry played against actual defenses. Other than that, your comparisons are spot on. Sheesh.
Henry ran threw bog holes, going straight and ran straight up and would get tackled by the first guy that didn't stupidly dive for his legs. Whether sec has better defenses or not is irrelevant. Because Henry just had one run straight forward age straight almost most of the time. McCaffrey had to at least put work in for his stats.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 if you honestly think Derrick Henry gets tackled by the first guy that tackles him then youâve never watched Derrick Henry play.
@@ItsdemontimeDarius i said by the first guy who doesn't stupidly dive for his legs. Henry breaks leg tackles and diving angle tackles that's it. If a defender even a db posts up and just does a normal tackle. It is an easy tackle.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 I think you need to watch these:

I donât care who you are there ainât no easy tackling Derrick Henry.. but youâre right as Henry is very one dimensional. And I would definitely say Mccaffrey is more talented overall. But you donât need a ton of talent if youâre born just an absolute freak and built like Henry
CMC was special but letâs be honest Derrick dominated against some of the best defenses that season and took his his team to the natty and won it all
I'll never understand it. Henry was and to this day the king RB.
The dude doing the video is wrong on most of these
Yea, Henry did that in the SEC. ANd it was a diversion of the two headed monster that Alabama was previously in. Derrick Henry carried that offense, as they fed him the rock like crazy.
Agree with everything except for Peyton Manning over Charles Woodson. Woodson could do literally everything, he was an elite receiver, lethal weapon running with the ball, as well as being an elite return man he was one of the best defensive players in College Football history! He was insanely versatile and just like you said, it matters how well you perform at the end of the season and Wooson had a receiving touchdown, return touchdown and a interception against a top 4 team in the nation. Finally Manning couldn't beat an elite team, he lost to Florida and Nebraska by more than 10 points in each game. However Woodson performed against elite teams beating Ohio State and Washington State as well as Number 2 Penn State. Oh and Michigan won the natty and finished 11-0 and first in the AP poll.
Woodson was a beast but your argument about Manning got some holes in it, Ohio St got crushed by Florida St in bowl game who lost to Florida and Penn St lost to Florida in the bowl game 21-6 and was not even close, Washington St had one of the weakest schedules in the country that year and was one play away from beating Michigan. It was back when the Pac and the Big would not play in the BCS and good thing they did not in my opinion. Woodson winning it I have no problem with that but Peyton played a much tougher schedule.
Colt McCoy should have won it in 2008. He CRUSHED the pass completion percentage record for a season by almost double digit percentage points. His team missed playing in the BCS Championship by .03 points in the polls. They played 4 top ten teams in 4 weeks, and their only loss was on the road to a top 10 team on a TD catch with :02 seconds left. The rest of that offense was barely above average.
Tim Tebow got snubbed his junior year, he won the maxwell that year and he won the natty
the natty shouldnât matter in a resume. there could be a player on a team that just isnât playoff bound but that shouldnât take away from the player themself. thatâs like comparing brady to mahomes and sting brady has 7 rings even tho mahomes hasnât been in the league that long and itâs just not fair to judge off that. sorry if this came off aggressive, i feel very strongly about this kinda thing and i also hate florida but mainly the first oneđ
@@jeffbell3762 nah I feel u, I just feel like itâs a lil different in CFB Bc u okay 3-5 seasons, and Tebow was the leader of the team, but I see what u mean and I think ppl give the natty too much value
@@Ggs22 ya
Colt Mccoy got snubbed that year just because he wouldn't inflate stats like Bradford did after going up big. Tebow had a worse year than both Mccoy and Bradford.
Peterson got robbed by Leinhart his freshmen year.
I agree Peterson got snubbed for sure. He was far and away the best player that year.
I was thinking, when the video was covering Herschel Walker, that if he (Walker) HAD won as a freshman, I am convinced thar Peterson would have won in his freshman year. At the time, they were still so reluctant to let a freshman win.
No by bush
Sorry CMC had a nice season but didnât deserve it. Derrick Henry put a honesty week Alabama offensive team on his back. And carried them to a national title. While also breaking every sec rushing record. Respectfully strongly disagree. Love youâre vids tho đđ»
Amazing how most people don't understand this. Our worst Oline this decade, a mediocre receiving core outside of Ridley and Howard and Jake freaking Coker as our QB. We don't win a natty without Henry.
Amazing how the "worst oline", had the the best holes ever seen in college football history. Out of all the Bama teams and runningbacks with Saban, Henry is the only one that had the privilege of only having to run straight and run straight up without ever having to lower the head. Just run until the first person in front of you tackles you easily. That is Derrick Henry in a nutshell in both college and nfl. The only thing Henry is excellent at is low tackles and side awkward diving tackles.
Factor in Tommie Frazierâs pitch yardage on the Nebraska Power I option and Frazier would have astronomical stats... but it was considered a pitch... that pitch is extremely hard to make and Frazier was the master... Phillips, Ahman Green, Clinton Childs, and Damon Benning all got an assist from Frazier.
YES! SOMEBODY FINALLY MENTIONED DARREN MCFADDEN! THANK YOU!
YES! GO HOGS!
McFadden was on a better team and had a better year, no excuse for how they give it to tebow because he ran goal line boot routes instead of using his running back
@@schelbboy22 agreed. How could they pick Tebow as the best player in the country over the guy who was voted Player Of The Year in the same conference? McFadden won every POY/MVP award that year except the Heisman
@@78758nate Because Arkansas wasnât as good as Florida.
I still think the one game suspension cost tyrann mathieu the heisman because he had the best season from a defensive player Iâve seen
McCaffrey? Simply put, NO.
What Derrick Henry did in 2015, considering the competition he had to do it against, and broke the single season SEC record for yards, cannot be ignored.
And now he's the first RB since Adrian Peterson in 2004-2005 to lead the NFL in rushing back to back years.
Peyton Manning was 2 place for a reason. What Charles Woodson did as a Defensive back, Wide receiver AND a returner, was amazing. Peyton was fantastic that year as well, but it doesn't come close to somebody who plays in EVERY phase of the game.
Here's one thing with Trevor Lawrence- because he was never first team All-American, he is ineligible for the college football hall of fame
Deshaun Watson is the one that really sticks out to me honestly
I feel ya. This dude is clueless on most of these. Doesn't even know the difference between Charles Woodson and Desmond Howard
Wrong. Watson played for the better team while Lamar put up far better numbers. The same team Lamar was on, went 2-10 without him the next year, while Clemson was back in the national title.
@@jwalk7134 Deshaun Watson Stats: 388/579 for 4,539 yards and 41 passing touchdowns as well as 630 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns
Lamar Jackson: 230/409 for 3,543 yards and 30 passing touchdowns with 1,571 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns
Deshaun was clearly the better QB and had more success...def deserved it more bud
@@colbybickley1313 how do the stats prove he was a better QB? Better passer maybe but total yards and TDs are about even. Deshaun played for the better team so you could argue Lamar was more crucial to his teamâs success. I donât favour either player but was confused about your argument and supporting evidence
@@wcm5636 The guy said that Lamar had far better numbers so I posted the stats to show that in fact Deshaun's numbers were far better in the passing game and had more all-purpose yards in total on top of the fact that he was more successful that season when it came to winning football games and the National Championship
Without watching, I'm saying Collin Klein. Was consistent for three years before he lost to Johmny Manziel who had one good year.
Manziel actually did much better the year he didnât win the Heisman so this is false
Idk, I still think Derrick Henry takes it. You also have to think about the conference theyâre in the SEC is a lot harder to be successful in.
I agree
Henry just ran through huge holes, ran straight most of the time and never lowered his head and could mainly only break leg tackles. Anybody who has it that freaking easy is not the most valuable player or should win the Heisman.
@aaron short once again he has a freakish oline and all he does is run straight up not lowering his head and most of the time running straight forward. he's actually an easy tackle head on, or if you go high on him he is an easy one on one tackle. Which is odd for his size but its because he doesn't know how to run leveled and use his body. It's just going forward and you can make an easy one on one tackle. However he breaks leg tackles easy. Almost all of his broken tackles are either from leg tackles or diving at angles.
Alot of his yards come in particular inflated games. About a quarter of his yards were just against Texans who allow him to get a million yards against them always.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 Derrick Henry ran behind the worst Alabama offensive line in the past decade
@@g6iii he ran behind the oline that they were saying is the equivalent of an NFL oline. It was the best Saban ever coached.
Another great video as always!! I thought Christian and Deshaun were probably the most snubbed!!
Thanks for watching, Daniel!
Roll Tide đ
Derrick Henry had a MONSTER season that year and carried Alabama to the natty, I think he was well deserving of the heisman
Shaun Alexander and Darren Sproles were the most snubbed.... Steve McNair as well....
And Larry fkn Fitzgerald... Smh... Jason White was TRASH! Worst Heisman ever
Derrick Henry was on the best team and was the reason why is he won the championship u are crazy to say he didnât deserve it
Mccafery broke rushing records the same year Henry won heisman Henry was on a great team who was in playoffs almost every year while mccafery broke rushing records so who deserve it....mccafery

Mariota had a pretty good case and Iâm not saying he didnât deserve it but Melvin Gordon easily had an argument.
- second most yards in a season by a RB in CFB history
- 7.5 yards per carry

- set the record for most rushing yards in a single game in only 3 quarters against a ranked Nebraska team
- 32 total TDs, 2,740 scrimmage yards
LaDaininan Tomlinson in 2000. Lost to Chris Weinke. LT was CLEARLY the best player in the country, but only reason he didn't was because TCU is a "smaller" school. And Adrian Peterson. Only reason he didn't: he was a freshman.
Love this list! I agree with nearly all these snubs! the 2009 snub Suh the most dominant defensive player iâve ever seen. iâd add Vince Young in 2005, although Reggie Bush had an incredible year too.
Canât say mccafery was snubbed Henry definitely deserved it with team success
You do realize that Henry had much more talent around him compared to C-Mac, right? How did henry deserve it over when C-Mac did EVERYTHING? đ€
@@MrGodismypower cause henry had 20 more rushing touchdowns and carried the offense
@@MrGodismypower You do realize how much more competitive the defenses Alabama faced where than the defenses Stanford faced, right?
@@barryand601 the heisman is for the most outstanding player in college football. C-Mac played in a power 5 conference as well as derrick.....but C-Mac put that team on his back with ease while derrick had a lot of talent around him.

Archis griffin shouldn't have won his second heisman he only had 4 tds less yards then the previous year and had 22 less rushing touchdowns *TO HIS OWN TEAMMATE*
I agree, Tony Dorsett should of won it and I bleed scarlet and gray. But OSU always gave the ball to Big Pete Johnson at the goal line.
And Billy Simms should have won 2
I think Rocket Ismail shouldâve won the Heisman in 1990 over Ty Detmer. A lot of fans assume Ismail won the trophy b/c he was so electric and known for his game breaking ability. His stats donât tell the entire story b/c he split time at WR & RB while also adding KR/PR duties. Detmer was a system QB that put up PlayStation like numbers much like the Texas Tech QBs did in the Air Raid offenses of the early 2000s or Timmy Chang & Colt Brennan at Hawaii. Plus, BYU got demolished in their final two games where Detmer wasnât even competitive against unbanked Oregon & then their bowl game. Rocket & Eric Bienenemy shouldâve both been above Detmer in the final voting.
I know, and the Irish had tougher competition than BYU, even though they both beat Miami.
Love it happy new year
You got a like for me bc you included McFadden! â€đđ
Luke Staley. Won the Doak Walker and Jim Brown award but wasn't even a finalist.
If he would have finished the season up right there's a pretty good chance he would have been a finalist. The tear he was on near the end of that season would have put him close to Barry Sanders record
Great video, being a tennessee fan I would definitely add johnnie majors to this list. Wild story behind his snub would love to see a video on it some day
I was just thinking this the entire video!! Im glad someone said something.
Great video!
I'll give you Toby Gerhart over Ingram, fine. No way CMC should've won over Henry. That season Henry dominated all of CFB and literally carried that Alabama team down the final stretch to the playoffs.
While playing tougher competition
Roll tide
@@TheoSprinkles Yea and it also has a lot to do with your team's record. Best player on the best team...usually.
Gerhart got shut down in his bowl game that year.
The Heisman was going to whoever won the Alabama/LSU game.
CMC didn't deserve it over Henry, you literally took another players TDs and added them to his and used that as a way to say he should've won
He was just saying that if christian was used in goal line situations his tds would have been over 20. McCaffrey broke the all time record for yardage. He carried the fuck out of a team weaker than bama. Very close but I think McCaffrey should have won it.
@@coleton65 but Henry carried bis team to the Natty and won it.
@@coleton65 Iâll go farther. How many first round draft picks played in the line in front of Henry? Now compare that to the line that blocked for McCaffrey. Bama has five star talent at every position. There is also five star talent backing up those starters. Sure the Sec is tough but Bama dominated in recruiting the last decade.
8:18 -- Always loved my dude's bicep tats -- "501 boy" -- reppin' our homecity to the fullest.
Tyrann Matthieu shouldâve won over RGIII and I will take that to my grave
Nah montee ball he scored 39 touchdowns bro lol
Vince Young! Got the final laugh over USC in the Championship game, but he should of won over Bush.
True
Lamar outplayed deshaun in their match-up, he lost cuz his receiver ran out of bounds on 4th when he easily could've fought for the 1st
You are absolutely correct.
@Mack lamar accounted for almost 460 yards 3 total tds and 1 turnover. Deshaun accounted for almost 400 yards 5tds amd 4 turnovers. And don't even get me started on who was around them
@@LilBritle1 if iâm starting a team around one of them in college or the NFL iâm going with deshaun. he is smarter and more talented. Lamar was just every athletic with little film on him
If Peyton could play D.B ,return kicks and W.R then he should have won. Woodson did way more for his team he deserved it
Blood clots kept tommie frazier from winning it in 95. He missed at least 4 games I believe.
It shouldn't of mattered though, he was the best player in all of college football that year.
@@bishopman2308 - And Suh in 2009. He was beating double-teams!
correction, Charles Woodson is the only defensive player to win a Heisman
Yup. After having so much Desmond Howard in the last few videos it was force of habit
Vincent Young should have won over Reggie Bush.
Since Bush had to give his back, they should call Vince and see if he would take it.
As a BYU fan I'm obligated to say Steve Young in 1983, he threw for almost 4000 yards and 33 touchdowns that year and led the cougs to win every game after their home opener loss.
Ryan Benjamin, University of the Pacific, 1991. 1581 Yards Rushing, 13 Touchdowns, over 50 receptions and 2,996 All Purpose yards which at that point was 2nd only to Barry Sanders. Far more yards than the Heisman winner of that year, Desmond Howard. They could have at least nominated the guy.
You forgot to include Vince Young when he was going against Reggie Bush. I guess this one would be pretty hard to explain though, but it's pretty well known.
Unfortunately, the Heisman voting and award presentation had already taken place before that game.
VINCE YOUNG !!!
2:50 "Larry Fitzgerald was the best WR in college football in 2013." That's what I call a FAIL lol
Tommy Frazier and Deshaun Watson are the best two QBs I've ever seen in College.
Everyone voted for Lamar because he put up 70 points against Charlotte or something like that. Deshaun definitely deserved that Heisman over Lamar.

@@benpickard3203 yes no doubt, but Deshaun was consistently one of the best players in the nation week after week

@@Deuce1042 that is true. Deshaun loved to throw picks in college, but over the course of the season he was the better player and the more deserving player.
Hogs gonâ Hog, DMAC got snubbed.
definitely should have won over troy smith.
Watson deserved two Heismans. The year Lamar won, he didn't deserve it. Watson put up the same numbers against far superior competition. He also kicked Lamar's ass that year.
Jim Mcmahon in 1980 should be considered. Dude went berserk for BYU that year, leading the FBS in almost every single major passing stat by a huge margin. Regardless of the offensive scheme he was in, setting at the time 71 NCAA records, and continuing the upward climb for the BYU program that ended in a 1984 National Title should get you placing better than 5th in your collegiate career.
Ummm dalvin cook was one of the biggest snubs of all time
that man should have at least made it to new york. He WAS our offense lmao
I like your videos but come on you need to add some context to some of these cases. Rushing in the 2000s SEC where the conference was known for their defense and had won 5 out of the 7 championships between 2003-2009 was a hell of a lot harder than playing in any other conference. So saying Mark Ingram and Derrick Henry didn't deserve their heismans just doesn't make much sense if you watched football during that time period.
i don't think he's discrediting what they did, just that other players were just as, if not more deserving. christian mccaffrey especially deserved it. the only thing he didn't do was play defense for stanford.
@@hoopsmccann639 I see what your saying but the video says snubs. Also he never points out the difference in competition levels for the players in any of his videos. Rushing in the SEC at the time was way harder than the pac 12. Leonard fournette had like less than 50 yards against Alabama 2 years in a row and he was a heisman contender. Henry had to work harder for his yards and played against contending teams whereas no team in the pac 12 is a true contender outside of maybe Oregon in 2014
@@weasel7227 i agree the sec is more difficult than the pac 12, but i don't think it's by as much as you think. they are both great players, i just like a more versatile player.
@@hoopsmccann639 if Henry was so outstanding then he would return kickoffs, punts, and more than those dismal numbers in pass receptions and yards. He was one dimensional. You cannot compare him to McCaffrey. McCaffrey dominated in every facet.

@@andrewmullinax952 lamar played against Clemson isn't Clemson a good? Lamar had 4 tds against a tuff Clemson team while deshaun had 4 turnovers
Tua Tagovailoa
When
Nope
Suh was the most deserving in 09. Never before and never since has a single player out performed the entire defensive line of Texas AND Alabama AND Oklahoma. He put up absolutely unreal stats and came in 3rd. Suh got robbed smh.
He was the only reason they almost beat 2 really good teams that year in Va Tech and Texas

Twice
Rocket Ismail should have won it in 1990
Charles Woodson played both offense defense and special teams so he was more impactful than Peyton Manning
Colt McCoy and Steve Emtman need to be on this list.
Rodrigo Blankenship got robbed last year
shut up
@Myles David no you
Charles Woodson deserved his Heisman in 1997. He literally had a Heisman moment game against the Buckeyes. Peyton choked against his Rival and in the Bowl vs. Nebraska was punked. While Charles Woodson balled out in the Rose Bowl vs. Washington State.
I am sick of the kissing up to egghead Manning.
Also against Michigan State another rivalry game C-Dub showed why he's one of the greatest players ever with how he could erase the field. Against a Saban led team.
Patrick Mahomes singlehandedly carried TTU. Unfortunately, he was saddled with the worst defense in FBS and only a few decent receivers to help him out. Also, Russell Wilsonâs Heisman campaign got derailed by two Hail Mary losses to Mich St and Ohio St, but I donât think that RG3 was any better than him that season.
Mahomes had similar stats to most of the tech qbs in the 2000s. Its just mahomes was the first air raid qb the nfl gave a chance to, and it worked out.
That stat about Tim Horning winning Heisman despite Notre Dame only winning two games all season as well as throwing 4x the ammount of interceptions than touchdowns is absolutely absurd. How in the hell?
Lmao Henry was the rightful Heisman winner. He made Fournette look like a fool and was the main reason the Tide won the NC against Clemson.
MCcaffery was not a snub he played in a weak conference
đŻđŻđŻđŻ Henry was better in 2015
lol nice try
@@_________. lame af
He failed to mention that Derrick Henry played in the SEC, while McCaffrey played in the Pac 12. One of these conferences is known for its defensive play & the other.......not so much
@@d.1.a_mayby18 .... I guess thatâs possible , but Iâm referring to defenses faced by 2 running backs in their respective conferences. Pac 12 may have been good offensively that year.
That really doesn't matter when Henry only ran through holes and was easily tackled by the first guy who tackles the guy high. McCaffrey actually had to work for the stats. And sec is not that great which is why the same freaking team wins the sec almost every single year.
It would be like the afc east from 2001-2019 only playing against afc east teams and because patriots won so many super bowls they are called the best division.
Crazy thing about Barry Sanders stats in the official NCAA records is that they don't count his bowl game.
Take CMC off Henry deserved it
Agreed
Thank you for saying that. Keep on preaching.
thank you. you can't just ignore 20 more rushing touchdowns
Vince Young?
I was living in Florida at the time Nebraska played florida in the NC. Everyone was telling me how florida was going to stomp us. Not so fast!!!! Tommy frazier def should of won
Colt McCoy should off won over Sam Bradford. Bradford's #'s were padded, bc they never benched the starter, even during a blow out.
Ndamukong Suh
Whereâs saquan?
up your's
A lot of the Heisman snubs had or are having great NFL careers like Peyton Manning, Larry Fitzgerald, Christian McCaffrey, Jim Brown, Deshaun Watson etc.
Adrian AD Peterson should have been. The 1st true freshman to win the heisman in 2004. Matt Leinart was ok that year but AD ran for 1925 15TD. He had 9 games with more than 100+ yards.
To say Manning got snubbed while also mentioning that INCREDIBLE game Woodson had to end the season is hilarious.
Pac 12 weak
I think chuba Hubbard deserved to at least be in the top 3 last year Burrow still deserves by a mile but I feel like he got screwed
Jonathan Taylor earned one I'd say. Man was a beast in college.
