Problem is in 2022, Max Duggan won this award and QB Caleb Williams won the Heisman. In 2021, QB Kenny Pickett won this award and QB Bryce Young won the Heisman. In 2020, Mack Jones won this award and only placed 3rd for the Heisman, while QB Trevor Lawrence placed 2nd for the Heisman. In 2018, Gardner Minshew won this award and finished 5th in the Heisman, behind four QB's.



2010 Scott Tolzien won. He didn't even finish in the top 10 in the Heisman.

Notable QBs from 2010 are Cam Newton, Kellen Moore, Andy Dalton, Greg McElroy, Denard Robinson, Ryan Mallett

Daniels is such a good person along with his talent on the field makes it very easy to pull for this man.

He's a refreshing change.

So if he wins Best QB in the country, and the Heisman race is between 2 QB's, that should be a dead giveaway right?

Congrats to Jayden
He earned it

I wish we had more wins to go along with it but watching him succeed was fun.

Common sense says yes, but common sense isn't so common anymore unfortunately.


I had to look it up and this award is not a predictor for the Heisman and appears to be an inverse relationship. QBs that won both the Heisman and Golden Arm Award are just 7 total.

Bill Curry (Colts Center for 6 years w/Unitas) gave 1 of the better sports award speeches by any presenter that I've ever heard

Great speech by Jayden. From the heart. He's so humble and sincere and real. He gave the glory to God. He also fittingly honored the great Johnny Unitas, whose legend lives for all time. I know he was my dad's hero.
