It's interesting that the SEC defensive player of the year two years ago never made it in the NFL.
How many Heisman winning QBs fail in the NFL?

Ever hear of Pat Sullivan, Gino Torretta, Charlie Ward.....The list is endless.
You want this to be an issue.

Are you Michael Sam?

do think he was given less of a chance compared to others in the NFL because some teams didn't want the extra media attention or potential problems with homophobic teammates
you dont think the 49ERS wouldnt have given him a chance if he was any good- in the gayest city in the US on a team that has been ravaged by defensive line injurues and retirements?

I think you're missing my point.
The OP said that it was weird that the SEC DPOY didn't make it in the NFL. I was asking how many Heisman QBs fail in the NFL to show that winning awards in college does not guarantee success in the NFL because a lot of Heisman QBs fail in the NFL.

No, that locker room was supposedly very outspoken about NOT having gay players on the team.

Go look up his stats from that awesome senior season. Pretty sure he racked up like 9 of his sacks playing OOC non power 5 teams. He's awesome!

3 sacks vs Arkansas state
3 sacks vs Vandy
3 sacks vs Florida
11.5 total sacks
31 tackles all season

The media votes on that award, no?

That joke went over your head. It was a gay joke.
Get it?

Thanks I knew he racked up most of his sacks in 3 games I just couldn't remember which ones.

Alouettes, eh? Seems pretty appropriate.

Not sure. But wasn't he co-DPY?
And I can see them throwing a bone to Mizzou since the other recent admit to the SEC had a Heisman

I find it hard to believe that he didn't make it i the NFL as a defensive specialist or backup.
Pass rushing specialists that can't play special teams need to be all-world.
He was not.

Because he didn't deserve that award.

Hopefully the Canadian prime minister gives him a call to tell him how brave he is

How does Tim Tebow not have a roster spot? College success doesn't always mean something relative to the pro game.
See the numerous heisman winners who haven't done squat in the league.
