Things hit home hard when the 1939 Heisman winner, Nile Kinnick of Iowa, was lost in a training crash off the coast of South America in June of 1943. Later that year, […]

]]> Heisman winners in the NFL draft (Updated) https://www.heisman.com/articles/heisman-winners-in-the-nfl-draft/ Thu, 23 May 2019 00:29:29 +0000 http://www.heisman.com/articles/heisman-winners-in-the-nfl-draft/ (Updated 1-22-24) The NFL loves the Heisman. The evidence for that claim is supported by the history of the league’s annual draft. The first player ever drafted by the NFL was also the very first Heisman winner, Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago. Berwanger was selected first overall by the Philadelphia Eagles and then traded […]

First, Jackson was the 10th-consecutive non-senior to win the Heisman. An honor once dominated by the senior class — 25 of the first 28 and 56 of the first 70 Heisman winners were seniors — did not have […]

Given the long and storied history of the most prestigious individual award in sports, it remains an extraordinary accomplishment. But for a few twists and turns, however, Griffin would not be alone. Indeed, several Heisman winners came very close […]
