Matt Leinart
The USC Trojans started Matt Leinart in his junior season in 2004. The QB went on to win the Heisman Trophy over the likes of Reggie Bush, Adrian Petersen, and Alex Smith. He was deemed one of the best prospects during the 2006 NFL Draft. The Arizona Cardinals ended up drafting him as the tenth overall pick. He spent four seasons with them but went on to play for Houston, Buffalo, and Oakland. In 2014, he signed a contract to serve as a studio analyst for the Pac-12 Network.
Archie Griffin
Did you know that the Ohio State Buckeye is the only school with a two-time Heisman winner? This is all thanks to the talents of Archie Griffin. In 1976, he was a first-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals at the NFL Draft. He went on to play all seven seasons of his pro career with the team, but it was not easy for him. He failed to make a 700-yard season. While it was a mediocre run, he did play in the Super Bowl in 1981. After retiring, the Archie Griffin Award was launched as the MVP award in college football.
