He will be, if he stays at Alabama and remains healthy.

I said JD5 would be a Heisman contender last year too and a lot of folks here didn't believe it.

The only reason JD won a Heisman was the same reason Peyton lost it. ESPN campaign hype.

They should rename the award The ESPN Ratings Trophy.

ESPN has been awarding this trophy for 25 years, not the New York Athletic Club.
