Does the heisman mean anything?
No. The heisman does not translate to a successful career. Nor does it mean you will fail. Checking the last 20, you have Winners: 1987 Tim Brown 1988 Barry Sanders 1991 Desmond Howard 1995 Eddie George 1997 Charles Woodson 2002 Carson Palmer Losers: 1989 Andre Ware 1990 Ty Detmer 1992 Gino Torretta 1993 Charlie Ward (Played Basketball instead) 1994 Rashaan Salaam 1996 Danny Wuerffel 1999 Ron Dayne 2000 Chris Weinke 2001 Eric Crouch 2003 Jason White The jury’s still out: 1998 Ricky Williams 2004 Matt Leinart 2005 Reggie Bush 2006 Troy Smith 2007 Tim Tebow We may end up putting Leinart and Bush in the Win columns, and Williams is good if he’s interested in playing. Charlie Ward is unfair to list since he decided to play Basketball instead of Football.
