by definition the Heisman is awarded to the best player that year. So the best player to play in TS would be one of that elite group. Tebow, Spurrior, Sullivan, someone from Bama, maybe more.

Here are the players who won the Heisman Trophy in years they played in Tiger Stadium:
Tim Tebow (07)
Charles White (79)
Steve Spurrier (66)

The following players won the Heisman Trophy and played in Tiger Stadium, but not the same year:
Derrick Henry (Won Heisman in 15, played in TS in 14)
Johnny Manziel (Won Heisman in 12, played in TS in 13)
Mark Ingram (Won Heisman in 09, played in TS in 08)
Danny Wuerffel (Won Heisman in 96, played in TS in 95)
Tim Brown (Won Heisman in 87, played in TS in 86)
Marcus Allen (Won Heisman in 81, played in TS in 79)

On that list, only Spurrier led his team to a dominant win in Tiger Stadium the same year he won the Heisman. Weurffel had a more dominant game the year before he won the Heisman, so I would go with him among Heisman winners.

GEAUX TIGERS!
