Baker Mayfield – 2017
Before Kyle Murray, Baker Mayfield had been the one busy breaking efficiency records. Before he won the 2017 Heisman Trophy, the Cleveland Browns starting QB set a record of 203.76. He scored 41 touchdowns and only gave up five interceptions. Aside from that, he led Oklahoma to its third consecutive Big 12 title and completed 71 percent of his passes. We are not surprised to hear that the Browns went for him as the first overall pick.

Howard Cassady – 1955
We doubt that you remember his name. This is a huge shame. Back in the day, Howard Cassady was among the greatest college running backs. He trounced the competition, rushed for 958 yards, and scored 15 touchdowns in his Heisman year. As a defensive back for Ohio State, he was chosen as an All-American. The bruising back made defeating the enemy look easy! His alma mater also brought home the Big Ten title that year. Michigan did not even stand a chance.
