just like Harrison winning his award


I came here to say this exactly.

the absolute ABOMINATION of Harrison winning those awards over Chase….?

the proof is in the stats and salary.

They are all “team” awards.



Josh Reed won the Biletnikoff award and the team was 10-3

It's become a popularity contest now though especially with Harrrison jr winning. That was the jump the shark moment

Bigger story is Haulcy 13 getting snubbed IMO. Best safety in college football.

Are you trying to equate 10-3 season to a 7-5 season? I don't understand

Remember when Marvin Harrison Jr got the Biletnikoff over Malik Nabors?


That was insult enough. Some of those tools actually thought he deserved the HEISMAN over Daniels. Insanity.

Harrison winning his award a few years back


I'd still argue that if his name was Marvin Smith Jr he may not have even been a finalist

Everyone knew Caleb Downs was going to win the Thorpe. It’s a popularity award and Downs’ name has been out in the public longer than Delane’s.
