Steve Spurrier
The truth is that most people remember Steve Spurrier better for his time as a coach instead of a player. Even though he was a Heisman Trophy awardee, his NFL career was not memorable. In 1967, he was the third overall pick at the NFL Draft. We are sure that the 49ers hoped he could help the franchise. While he had several starts, it was not enough for the coaches. For ten seasons, he got to start 38 games. What really caused his downfall was all of his interceptions. We have already seen many Heisman winners who did not live up to the hype, so it is time to see those with the greatest college careers!

Cam Newton – 2010
There is no doubt that Cam Newton is one of the greatest players that college football has ever seen. He had a pretty controversial start, but he turned out to be the perfect choice for Auburn. His playstyle was both creative and athletic, which did wonders for the football program. He was the SEC’s first player to get 1,000 rushing yards and 2,000 passes in a single season. The other team players always looked like high school JV teams when they were up against him. He was a true legend! Aside from that, he brought the team glory by helping them win the National Championship.
