Barry Sanders had the single greatest individual season in college football history. 2600 yards in 11 games is impossible to replicate.
And an insane amount of tds 🔥
fr
Should have been to a SB with him.
@@ericsilberstein667Lions moment
2,850 rushing yards and 44 TDs in 12 games (when they add the Holiday Bowl stats)
Funny story about Johnny Football. He was supposed to speak at an event last week for a group of A&M alums at a fundraiser event in Corpus Christi and he totally blew it off. He was tweeting live from NYC while everybody was waiting for him to show up. Funny thing was nobody at the event was either surprised or even disappointed.
When u gotta pay 70 million to a coach that ain’t do anything for ur program little things like that ain’t finna bother u
You have to include Reggie Bush. He won the 2005 Heisman no matter what NCAA or Heisman Trust states. No other 2005 winner named, so Bush still the winner.
I mean I love Bush but he would fall into the "meh" or mostly solid category like Sam Bradford. Which, this video would be very, very long if you had to include the heisman winners who had meh careers in the NFL. They had 3 categories and he didn't fall into any of them.
They included OJ 😄
@@unlimitedpower978that's a ridiculously bad take. Bush in college was more popular than NFL players. Bradford was a nobody.
@@canubeetquadNobody is talking about how they were in college
Reggie Bush did win the Heisman Trophy he won a national championship at USC 1st Round 2nd overall pick in the 2006 NFL's Draft by New Orleans and he's won a super bowl championship in 2009 as well
Best Heisman player to play in the NFL is without a doubt Barry Sanders
Stunned Rashaan Salaam wasn't on the list. He was an absolute monster for Colorado in 1994, running away with over 2000 yards and the Heisman Trophy that year. He was drafted by the Bears the following year, but the workload from his time at CU (and playing almost all his games on artifical concrete...er turf) led to injuries and he only stayed in the league for two years (I think). Rest in peace.
He's an epic bust and this is a list or most successful Heisman winners in the NFL. That's why.
I saw him play and remember not being impressed. He had bustling holes to run through. There was nothing special about him when I was at OU. It frustrated me seeing how much he was getting overhyped
@@justinlast2lastharder749 title literally says best and worst. Not just best.
I was too young at the time to understand the situation with Charlie Ward, but looking back, how crazy was that? A Heisman Trophy winner who was selected in the NBA Draft but _not_ in the NFL?
I think cyz he said if he wasn't gonna be pick in the first round then he be going to the NBA and that's why he choose NBA over the NFL but how teams that needed a QB passed him up🤷🏾🤷🏾
Honestly a smart move. 11 years in the NBA is good money and a lot less damaging to the brain
He wasn't picked in the NFL draft because he told NFL teams not to draft him because he was going to play basketball
He didn't get drafted because he wasn't good enough. Period. It doesn't get any worse than that.
@@callmelarry7499that’s just a lie. He was a projected 1-2nd round pick if I’m not mistaken. He chose the nba and told nfl teams not to draft him because he wouldn’t be playing for them. Don’t be ignorant
“I still can’t believe we won a Heisman together, the 6 of us” -Hershel Walker, probably
?
That's the first time I've heard someone describe Herschel Walker as "effective" for the Vikings.
Jason White went undrafted due to injuries. He missed two years due to knee issues and got a sixth year of eligibility after winning the Heisman due to medical hardship. Though the Titans signed him as a free agent, White retired to avoid further knee injuries.
Kansas City also gave Jason a workout as a courtesy to see if there was potential, but his knees did not give him the mobility he would need to withstand the rigors of the NFL. He can't be categorized with the worst Heisman, that should go to Johnny "Football." Jason was and remains a leader in his home town and a credit to the Oklahoma Sooners.
People forget that Jason White was a fairly mobile answer to statue Nate Hybl in 2001 before tearing his ACL at Nebraska on a non-contact play.
He shouldn't have won the Heisman to begin with. Larry Fitzgerald should've won it
You should do a video series of the best draft pick by each franchise in each round, with one video about the first round, a video about the second round, the third round, etc. down to the seventh
10:06 look at how OJ slices through the defense
He was pretty good at slicing, that’s for sure.
Surprised there was no mention of Nile Kinnick. Won the Heisman then went off to be a Navy pilot in WW2. Tragically died due to an engine malfunction in his plane.
Heisman Trophy winner and WW2 veteran? Sounds like we missed out on a U.S. President.
No Tom Harmon (Michigan 1940)? After college flew bombers and fighters in WWII.
Cuz he didn't play in the nfl
I grew up in south florida in the 2000’s. Ricky Williams absolutely DOMINATED.
Lesson here. If it is a heisman winning RB, draft him. If it's a QB you are playing with fire.......
OJ was just such a killer and fun to watch he would just stab teams in the back and murder them with his rushing
I see what you did there
Guess you could say he had a cut throat mentality.
Good one!😂😂
Do all time teams for each franchise plz
Yes please
Thats a good idea
Cowboys all time team would be unreal
Did Earl Campbell pick a dude up and spike him on the way too the end zone ? 4 yards away from the end zone... I can't stop looking at it!
Maaaaan... Some of these old school guys have become criminally underrated.
Always happens. As people who played against or watched players age or die, fewer around to say “hey, don’t forget about X.” I work with people who don’t know OJ was a good football player. I’m no Dallas fan at all but Roger Staubach not being discussed among the greatest QBs ever is criminal.
My uncle played against Earl Campbell in high school back when he was a freshman and Campbell was a senior. He's said Earl played HB and MLB and was "An absolute man amongst boys." as he put it.
This video is kinda why tanking in the NFL doesn't guarantee that you get a superstar
No Famous Jameis??? Barry Sanders was UNREAL, true video game type numbers.
Gino Toretta won the Heisman in '92, Marshall Faulk was clearly the best player, but played at San Diego State, same in '00, Tomlinson was the best player, but Florida State the powerhouse, and TCU the "small school"
Agreed and this deserves more elaboration. Miami in the 90s was what 'Bama is today and Torretta was an example of giving the Heisman by default to the quarterback of the best team in the nation. Other players like Marshall Faulk, Charlie Ward, and even Drew Bledsoe were all better candidates for the trophy than Torretta, but the media had such a hard-on for the Hurricanes that they basically dictated the result without regard to the players' merits.
Before there was Brandon Weeden, there was Chris Weinke.
11:13 ref got smoked
Bo Jackson is the greatest what if in NFL history
You Are The Best NFL Throwback Keep Up The Good Work
Success in college football depends on the system in which the quarterbacks play in. There are many gimmicky offenses there. The NFL is a whole different ball game. Stats in college can be other-worldly, and many fans and some owners become enamored with some Heisman winning college QBs. The NFL-ready QBs are not always crazy successful, statistically in college, while just about every Heisman winning QBs are.
NFL throwback always posting 🔥 videos
Give Reggie Bush his Heisman back.
Johnny Rodgers didn't like what the NFL was offering and went to the CFL becoming the first million dollar contract in their history, and did very well while playing for them.
Barry Sanders greatest running back of all time without a doubt he's a human highlight real the most electrifying player to watch
Where’s Reggie bush ??
Technically he’s not a heisman winner anymore…..
@@madmike617 yes he is, screw the ncaa. You can't erase people's minds.
NFL Throwback doesn't miss
That Desmond Howard kick return TD call by the commentator was so horrendous lol
Staubach had to do 4 years in the navy including a Viet Nam tour before he played & when he finally did, he was pretty good. Two super bowl wins out of 4 starts & led in passer rating 4X, Y/A 2X & Int.% 3X while, of course, being a great play maker.
The best players to win the Heisman Trophy are… Barry Sanders Cam Newton Charles Woodson Ricky Williams Baker Mayfield Earl Campbell Desmond Howard Lamar Jackson Marcus Allen Kyler Murray DeVonta Smith Tim Tebow
Interesting tidbit about Jay Berwanger, the first Heisman winner and the first No 1 pick in the draft. His rights were sold by the Eagles to his hometown Bears, but the Bears could not come to terms with his salary demands. Though he made a fine living as a successful businessman, making higher salaries than he ever could in the very low paying NFL of the 1930s, later in life he expressed regret at not taking George Halas' offer and playing in the NFL.
This list dipped fast, I think a list of the Maxwell Trophy winners would give us a better list.
Terry Baker Oregon state. Also played in the Final four in basketball. 12-21 passing with 4 ints. First overall pick to the rams in 63
Feels like most Heisman Trophy winners have been bust in the NFL
The cool thing about the Titans franchise RB's is they are the only franchise in NFL history with 3 separate players rushing for 1900+yds in a season, no other team even has 2!
Damn we’ve had a lot of Heismans lol
😂😂 hilarious seeing OJ actually mentioned here
How? He was one of the best running backs ever
Barry Sanders 1988 season will never be beaten , if you watched the new Amazon special you know they didnt even count the other 250 yards he had in the Holiday Bowl
i understand that they are great and amazing. however, Herschel Walkers Georgia Bulldogs highlights are the most impressive to me..
Barry Sanders was an outstanding NFL player. He was also a class act. ❤😊
In college, Theismann changed the pronunciation of his last name, so it would rhyme with Heisman. His friends & other family members couldn’t believe he & his parents did that.
I knew LJ8 is a good one no doubt about it thus far in his career i just hope he can get a ring sometime in his career
Captain America Roger Staubach and of course Tony Dorsett two of the greatest Heisman Trophy winners ever
DID YOU FORGET BAKER MAYFIELD? The Guy who won a playoff game with the Browns?!
Roger Staubach was a Heisman Trophy winner at NAVY Thank You for your splendid service but like Lamar Jackson Mr.Staubach was great incredibly athletic a.k.a Roger the Dodger able to escape pressure but he won two super bowl championships in 1971 and 1977 with his great coach Tom Landry 2:28
The glove fits for OJ on this list!
matt leinart's downfall was he was already a celebrity quarterback in college.
probably took a paycut from USC to the Cardinals, also.
Had to get that Ballroom Dancing 101 credit before he could turn pro
Should’ve had a category of player who had Heisman taken away
Heisman winner Danny Wuerfell from Florida is my neighbor/family friend and I have an autographed ball by him! Great guy!!
Marcus allen gt the heisman national championship superbowl ring n superbowl mvp js
Jay Berwanger, Larry Kelley, Clint Frank, Davey O'Brien, and Nile Kinnick were the first five winners of the Heisman Trophy. Only O'Brien played pro football.
OJ Slashed his way through defenses like he was riding a Ford Bronco.
Doug Flutie 1984?
That OJ fella was really elusive back in his day 😂
Did the entire world forget Baker Mayfield won the Hiesman or am I going crazy?
Barry Sanders averaging 1500 yards a season is insane 😂
What kind of list is this he is all over the place I thought we were getting a ranking system
All I’m gonna say is that out of all the Earl Campbell highlights I’ve seen, 7:10 is the nastiest. That is just disrespect on a level not often seen in this game 😂
Greatest Heisman Trophy Winner In NFL History Barry Sanders In 1988 Thanks For Uploading
If your last name is "sanders," then you're probably an athletic freak.
No Steve Spurrier? He would have tied in nicely with the other two Florida Gater QB's. He was even Wuerffel's coach at Florida!
What about jamies Winston
Tony TD Dorsett was a excellent phenomenal player with Dallas he's a 1st Round 2nd overall pick out of University of Pittsburgh the Heisman Trophy winner won the National Championship in 1976 NFL's Rookie of the year in 1977 and a super bowl ring in the same year too 3:25
Criminal to show Billy Sims highlights and not show the one of him jump kicking the dude on that one run lol😂
I find it hilarious that the two best are Lions lol
if charlie ward played today. he would have been drafted in the 1st round.
There’s a universe where the Chiefs take Ward in the first round and let him sit a year under Joe Montana. Quite the “what if.”
So Reggie Bush doesn't count anymore?
What about (bust) Andre Ware from University of Houston? Drafted by the Lions in 1990, never really seemed to get a consistent chance, then out of the league after 3-4 seasons.
The OJ Simpson segment was so short😹
Barry Sanders was one of the most electrifying running backs ever he's a human highlight real when he has the ball he will take it to the house 0:51
In 1983 he set the NFL's Record 99 yards against the Vikings or better yet 99 yards and a half 3:36
Billy Cannon barely even played in the NFL (one season with KC). All the clips of him in this video were from the AFL
Sam Bradford literally got inducted into Native American hall of fame. Which does include Jim Thorpe and Billy Mills who are two Olympian legends.
How could you miss Tom Harmon? Went on to fly both bombers and fighters in WWII
I’d take Staubach…
I feel Tebow never really got a chance after Denver. Did he put up great numbers? No. Did he win? Yes. Never got the opportunity other bad QBs got and continue to get.
The funny thing is too is that Tebow would fit right in with a lot of systems they have in place for QBs these days. Tebow had a very similar skill set to Jalen Hurts or Justin Fields today. He’d definitely have a home somewhere for some team if he had played today.
Even rubber foam needs a Heisman winner.
RIP DT 🧡💙
how do you not have ron dane on here ?? im so confused....
Lamar winning MVP in 2019 went completely unmentioned
1:53
@@BryanWhite77thanks. Missed that
Did I miss Baker?
I think you did, I don’t remember seeing his
Imagine ur old employer posting this lol
No Jameis Winston, No Baker Mayfield???
Charles Woodson not on this list is crazy
He gets a pass on all the list of worst ever stats to win the HT...weird
"One of the most downtrodden franchises" the Re-skins have 3 Lombardi trophies
Washington Redskins!
@@hobbs12cats re-skins is better. And accurate since they're about to change the name. Again
Boston Redskins!
Did I miss devonte smith or was he just left out? He’s a beast
Baker Mayfield and a few others weren't there either
I hope OJ Simpson is on the list, he's a Heisman winner and NFL MVP.
Johnny Manziel the flop of the decade 😂😂
You forgot Nile Kinnick
Manziel was blackballed and never given a chance at all let alone a second chance.
Lol, if you have the talent, the NFL is always going to give you a second chance. This is a silly take
To: Mickey Loomis Draft Jayden Daniels From: Saints fans
I wish Barry Sanders was rewarded a super bowl championship at least one or two 1:01
Derrick Henry is the real deal no doubt about it 5:51
Charles Woodson stole it from Peyton...what a joke dude had 3 TD's and under 250 yards receiving.
I wish Carson Palmer was rewarded a super bowl championship
