Come to think of it, I hope he does win the Heisman, I don't want it to jinx any of the college players who actually have a future in football.

you need to go back a little further as well, (tony dorsett, hershcel walker, jim plunkett, earl campbell, marcus allen..... these guys were all a huge wash in the nfl) the ones that usually don't pan out are the qb's. it's THE most difficult position to scout for the nfl. the majority of the top notch nfl qb's were late rounders. montana, brady.... where guys like ryan leaf and heath shuler turned out to be perverbial nfl turds!
