Here's how Chad Kelly stacks up against previous Heisman Trophy winners

After rewriting the Ole Miss record books and posting the third most single-season passing yards in SEC history during his first year in Oxford, Chad Kelly is getting some deserved buzz as a legitimate 2016 Heisman contender. The latest numbers from Bovada have him at 12/1, tied for the fifth-best odds in the country.

Deshaun Watson (QB Clemson) +350
Leonard Fournette (RB LSU) +400
Christian McCaffery (RB Stanford) +500
JT Barrett (QB Ohio State) +1000
Chad Kelly (QB Ole Miss) +1200
Dalvin Cook (RB Florida State) +1200
Baker Mayfield (QB Oklahoma) +1200
Nick Chubb (RB Georgia) +1400
Josh Rosen (QB UCLA) +1600
Royce Freeman (RB Oregon) +2000
Samaje Perine (RB Oklahoma) +2000
Calvin Ridely (WR Alabama) +2500
Joshua Dobbs (QB Tennessee) +2500
Brad Kaaya (QB Miami) +3300
Patrick Mahomes (QB Texas Tech) +3300

The departures of blindside protector Laremy Tunsil and top target Laquon Treadwell could certainly make things tougher for Kelly.
