Hot Take Tuesday: A quarterback will NOT win the 2023 Heisman Trophy

The Heisman Trophy is the most prestigious award in college sports, presented annually to the most outstanding player in college football. However given the vast number of voters (870 media votes, 57 eligible previous winners, and a fans vote) a consensus often forms around the quarterback on a Playoff contending team. Last season the four finalists invited to New York City were three QBs from Playoff bound teams and the eventual winner, USC QB Caleb Williams. The Quarterback certainly will often have an outsized impact on the success of his team and typically put up dazzling stat lines that are impossible to ignore.
