In 2001, Eric Crouch won the Heisman Trophy. It was thought that he would fit wide receiver better than QB. The St. Louis Rams picked him during the third round of the draft in 2002. However, he did not get a down during a regular season. He went on to join several other teams across different leagues. He also played safety for the Hamburg Sea Devils of NFL Europe and QB for the Argos in the CFL.

In 2003, the Heisman Trophy went to Jason White. He even took Oklahoma to back-to-back showing at the National Championship Games! While his college track record was great, the team did not win either of those games. This must be why he was not chosen at the NFL Draft. Aside from that, he did not get tryouts from the teams during the first weeks of the post-draft free agency. Isn’t that unbelievable? He joined Charlie Ward and Pete Dawkins as the third Heisman Trophy winner who did not get drafted.
