Syracuse Football: Here’s why Sean Tucker is a legit Heisman contender

The ongoing debate surrounding Syracuse football running back Sean Tucker lately had been centered on whether he should wear the iconic Orange number 44 (yes he should).

But recently it seems Sean Tucker isn’t just a name to watch in regards to restoring that tradition, but also maybe according to Robert Griffin III, he is worthy of Heisman Trophy consideration as well.

The above tweet from the former Heisman winner himself in 2011 at least indicates that he’s on peoples’ radar now.
