biggest joke to win was Gino Torretta that i remember. rashaan salaam was another but he was pretty damn good @ CU. huge bust in the pros. both recent nebraska guys were pretty similar yet didnt deserve it, scott frost and eric crouch. Charles Woodson over Peyton was a farce. Woodson overrated...not the shutdown corner they try to bill him as. Danny Wuerffel...passes so weak the wind during practices outdoors knocked them down. steve spurrier as well.
I can think of a couple that nobody's mentioned who were pretty solid as pros... Earl Campbell and Marcus Allen
Here is a link to a site providing information about The Heisman, amazing how many winners did not distinguish themselves as pros: http://heisman.collegesports.com/
Charles Woodson has been All-Pro several times. He doesn't get the # of picks because teams don't throw it at him very much. Ricky Williams was pretty good until he decided he'd rather sit around and smoke weed all day. Eddie George was a great running back for the Titans/Oilers. And Carson Palmer is starting to come around playing QB for the Bengals.
thats because someone has to go for that position. Doesn't make him Deion Sanders nor a Champ Bailey. Of course I don't think Champ is as good as billed either but then again I judge everyone on Deion's younger days of coverage.
What about Paul Hornung. He led the NFL in scoring from 1959-61, was a halfback and a kicker for several seasons, set an all-time record by scoring 176 points in only 12 games, won NFL MVP twice, went to the pro-bowl a couple times, NFL and college hall of famer, and he won 4 NFL championships.
