Is JHS too biased towards the Heisman winners?

Not to take anything away from our 3 guys obviously, but since the statues were erected I have wondered if there is a little bit too much Heisman emphasis in the stadium.
Consider:
- Statues
- Portraits outside the stadium behind the statues
- Portraits outside the stadium behind the jumbotron
- Portraits on each side of the jumbotron
- Bo & Pats names and numbers painted inside (with Terry, and probably soon to be Cam)
- Bo & Cam Heisman trophies in the locker room
- Heisman lounge
Obviously they can't recognize everybody, but there have been some great players come through that deserve some love also IMO.

Nick Fairley, Tracy Rocker, and Carlos Rodgers pictures also hang in the south endzone exterior so nah I think everyone is well represented.

I think recruits like it so I see no problem with it

Every All American could have a big plaque mounted on the walls inside or outside stadium. Scatter them around like a walk of fame type thing.
They have a wall like that in the Tigers Den which is cool already.

I think that a lot of what has been done has been simply celebrating Auburn's football history.
The banners outside the south endzone aren't just Heisman winners, but all major award winners (Carlos, Nick, Rocker) We had Rock's picture up in the stadium until after the 2010 season.
The two Heisman's in the locker room are there because there really isn't anywhere else to put them. Pat's is over at the arena but there really isn't room for two more. Why not put it where recruits and players see them, and the public can too with the tours on Fridays.
The names on the façade are retired numbers. We can't help it that two of the three (and possibly 3 of four) retired jerseys were worn by guys good enough to win the statue.
