If I were building a team for CFB based on their Heisman season the only two players I’d consider at 1.1 would be Cam Newton and Jayden Daniels.

I’d say Burrow was the best pure passer of the group but both of those guys were a running game all by themselves in addition to being able to hold their own as elite passers.

Mark Ingram is dead last. He won the award because no Alabama player had ever won it before. Ndamukong Suh was the best player.

The rest were all pretty, darn awesome.

He had better stats in his Heisman year than Bo or Herschel

The only better stat he had over Bo is receiving, but different styles of football. Plus Mark had 3 more games of stats to even get comparable numbers, give Bo those 3 extra games and the numbers arent close

Maybe.

but I'm not really saying that Ingram was better than Bo, or he even had a better Heisman year, I'm just saying that to say that Ingram was the worst on the list, and he only won the Heisman because a Bama player never won it when he had comparable stats, and more total yards and TDs than Walker and Bo is interesting.

I guess I’m old but I’ve just always thought Herschel was the best I’ve ever seen. And that is from an LSU Season Ticket holder.

Only one player in this list is a lock to make the NFL Hall of Fame.

One.

And he ain't a QB.

Rank them how? Compare how dominant they were in CFB?

I actually agree with this. Statistically, Joe Burrow is clear #1, but you take Cam and JD5 away from their teams, those are some bad teams
