Baker Mayfield – 2017

Before Kyle Murray entered the scene, Baker Mayfield was the one breaking efficiency records. Before he brought home the 2017 Heisman Trophy, he had a rating of 203.76! Aside from that, he only had five interceptions and scored 41 touchdowns. Not only that, but he also gave Oklahoma to its third consecutive Big 12 win and accomplished 71 percent of the passes. It is not surprising to hear that he was the first overall pick. He went on to be the starting QB for the Cleveland Browns.

Howard Cassady – 1955

It is a huge shame that so few people remember Howard Cassady. In the past, he was one of the best running backs in college football! He did not have a hard time defeating the competition. During his Heisman year, he had 15 touchdowns and 958 rushing yards to his name. He was also an All-American pick during his time at Ohio State. He dominated the green and made it look easy. Aside from that, his alma mother won the Big Ten title in the same year. Michigan did not stand a chance.
