re: Who do you think was one of the best football players Not to win the Heisman?

There are many first picks of the draft that did not win the Heisman.

There are also special players who were true difference makers on their teams who did not win the Heisman.

So many defensive players who were overlooked for this award.

Of the Auburn players during my life Tucker Frederickson stands out as a two way player.
Tracy Rocker. Takeo Spikes.

In SEC there are several defensive players who were deserving of more recognition. Derrick Thomas, Lee Roy Jordan, Reggie White, 1992 Alabama defense.
