Let’s play a game.
I will give you statistics from three of the best seasons we have seen in recent years from running backs and you tell me which player (if any) won the Heisman Trophy.
Player A – 395 attempts/2,219 yards/28 total touchdowns
Player B – 343 attempts/2,587 yards/ 32 total touchdowns
Player C – 324 attempts/ 2,199 yards/ 22 total touchdowns
If you guessed Player B you made a smart guess. Based on the numbers it seemed pretty obvious, right? Unfortunately, you are wrong.
If you happened to guess Player A, congrats!
