Homer thread pick.

Adrian Peterson. Would have won if he wasn't true freshman.

Can’t argue with any of these:

10 biggest snubs in Heisman Trophy history

The 2016 Heisman Trophy presentation will be on Saturday, Dec. 10. Here are the 10 players that should have won the Heisman Trophy, but were snubbed of it.

I would also add Stedman Bailey and/OR Tavon Austin 2012. Not even a SEAT? GTFO.

Agree on Suh, deserved it. Agree on Rocket, he also deserved it. Vick should have had one as well regardless of stats imo, the eye test showed that. Warrick as well.

Don't forget about the Kentucky kid, Couch.

Sure, as bad as this sentence is going to be. Pac 10 >>>>SEC at that time as an overall conference. Leaf broke his thumb in their one loss (since the Rose Bowl still has time left).

That Suh did not win in 2009 proves people saying that was the year Heisman was shown an Offensive Player award, even though they won't admit it.

Woodson is classified as a DB, but played defense, offense, and P/K returner.

How many DB's had won the Heisman prior to Woodson? Derp

Only reason Woodson won was because voters couldn’t decide between Manning and Leaf. Woodson wins it but it was a participation trophy as third best.

It isn’t a homer pick. It is a legit pick. Clarett came close with a far inferior resume.

Peyton Manning certainly deserved it but it's tough to argue with Charles Woodson. Both will be NFL HOF.

Gotta assume they’re both first ballot this year, right?

Corey Davis didn’t even get a vote in 2016.

DeDe Westbrook finished 4th, had less receptions and less TDs than Davis.

Went 13-0 before losing in the Cotton Bowl. No respect, no respect.

Interesting take, but that would only be the case if Manning and Leaf had more combined 1st place votes than Woodson.
That wasn't the case.
