O.J. Simpson – 1968
Well, did you think we could finish this list without mentioning the Juice? Of course, the murder charges made us see him in a new light, but his athletic prowess is unmatched. O.J. Simpson was the first college player to earn this much fame. It was hard to come up with a defensive plan for him. For two back-to-back years, he had the highest rushing yards record. In 1968, he dominated the field and made it look easy. He led in touchdowns with 23 that year. His margin of victory is the highest in Heisman history.

Eddie George – 1995
When he was a junior, Eddie George impressed us. The Ohio State Buckeyes alum did even better the year after that. He took the team to an 11-0 record and led them to the National Championship Game. He ruled the green and rushed for at least a hundred years per game. There was only one exception, but his coach subbed him out that time. They did so at the opener because he just scored 38-6 that time.
