Heisman history

[TonyDanza]

Ok...I have always wanted to know out of all the Heisman winners who went on to have a great pro career(s)? Who flopped? I know some on the list need no explanation.

 

The reason I ask is because while I know it is an honor to be nominated but does winning really make a difference?? Before any of you jump on the signing bonus, blah, blah, crap. Think about it.

 

One thing I have always thought....I would rather see a team have a great season rather than a Heisman canidate.

These guys didnt have great pro careers!

[bigblueinsanity]

2003 Jason White

 

And this guy

[Hip-Hop Box]

Troy Smith isn't look so good either... who did he go to?

[bigblueinsanity]

Ravens...I think...

[rockcastleraiders]

Ron Dayne was a HUGE flop!

 

Charlie Ward chose the NBA.

[buzzer beater]

Troy Smith isn't look so good either... who did he go to?

 

He has Steve McNair in front of him. It's sad to see one bad game throw away an enitre career.

[buzzer beater]

Where is Weinke at?? Also White from Oklahoma was a big flop. Does he even play football now??

[ladiesbballcoach]

To me, Archie Griffin is the biggest flop. He is the ONLY guy to ever win it twice. That should say he was one of the best RB's ever in college football. And he was nothing in the pros.

I dont think either of em play.

To me, Archie Griffin is the biggest flop. He is the ONLY guy to ever win it twice. That should say he was one of the best RB's ever in college football. And he was nothing in the pros.

 

Griffin just played 7 years in the NFL. He rushed for 2,808 yards and 7 TD's in those 7 years. I know not crazy stats but still. He isn't the biggest flop of all the players named.

2001 Eric Crouch

 

IMAO Biggest Joke

[1996]

What happened after 1990?

[TonyDanza]

What happened after 1990?

 

I think it is partly because money has become more important than anything else.
