Earl Campbell – 1977
Let us see. What is there to say about one of several winners who also made it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In his Heisman year, he was able to make 18 touchdowns and over 1,700 rushing yards. Wow. Are you not yet impressed? Well, wait until you hear that Earl Campbell caught five passes and a touchdown for 111 yards. Once he joined the NFL, he continued to blow us away. He even took home the Most Valuable Player award once. Aside from that, he was voted to the Pro Bowl five times.

Derrick Henry – 2015
It is pretty accurate to call Derrick Henry a dark horse. At the start of his college career, no one really knew his name. He stayed relatively unknown halfway through his Heisman year. He finally earned the attention of viewers after rushing for almost 2,000 yards. This bag game had him against LSU and Leonard Fournette, who was a candidate for the trophy. In the end, Henry sealed the deal with 210 yards and three touchdowns. Everyone already knew who the better person for the award was by then.
