Only 4 defensive players in the BCS Era have made the Heisman presentation

Charles Woodson was BCS era.

Warren Sapp, Miami.

Nope. Sapp was 6th. Didn't go to NY.

1992 is before BCS.

Tennessee won the first BCS championship following the 1998 season.

Woodson's final collegiate season was 1997.

Marvin Jones (FSU 4th place in 1992).

Woodson was the year before the BCS era--remember Michigan and Nebraska split the title that year which led to the formation of the BCS.

So Mathieu is one of two defensive players to be invited to the ceremony in the BCS era.
