it seems unlikely, not because Bridgewater isn't good but because he is going to have zero national games. His stats are going to have to blow everyone out of the water and that just seems really unlikely

295-434-3706-26-9

Those are that passing stat lines for Bridgewater and Manziel last year. Bridgewater held his own with the Heisman winner. Only he rushed for 1350 fewer yards and 20 fewer TDs. That's an enormous stat gap to bridge and it's doubly difficult when he has no top 10 type matchups to showcase himself

I'd say Manziel, Mariota, Braxton Miller, McCarron and Clowney all stand out as frontrunners. If you want a darkhorse, I really like Brett Hundley at UCLA. I don't see Seastrunk as likely just because Baylor is going to have games they really struggle without a QB. It's really hard to win a Heisman at 8-4.
