Earl Campbell – 1977
Well, what can we say about one of the few winners who also landed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Let us see. During his Heisman year, Earl Campbell rushed for more than 1,700 yards and made 18 touchdowns. If this was not enough to impress you, we hope you know he caught five passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. When he entered the NFL, he did not disappoint! He bagged the Most Valuable Player award once and got voted to five Pro Bowls.

Derrick Henry – 2015
This guy was quite the dark horse. No one was familiar with his name at the beginning of the college year. Halfway through the season, he remained pretty unknown. Derrick Henry only piqued the interest of viewers when he rushed for nearly 2,000 yards! The big game was against LSU, which had Heisman candidate Leonard Fournette. He outdid the crowd favorite and ended the day with three touchdowns and 210 yards. After this, everyone figured out who the greatest running back in the NCAA was.
