He's impressed me so far.

QBs get more Heisman votes than WR.
So do RB, but if he has 2000+ and 20 TDs he will get it.

It's exceptionally difficult to win it as a WR.

It's a QB/RB award primarily.

If he puts up those numbers all year and Alabama wins the SEC and makes the playoffs, he'll have a shot.

That's a lot of major if's though.

Any QB that plays pretty good will vault to #1 though, cuz that's how the award works.

However, sometimes it's more about the team you play for and their season than the position.


Winston - YUP. Good stats, but FSU winning was important.

Manziel- Nope, he was legitimately the best player in the country

RG3- Same an Manziel, I would say he was the best player

Cam- Good player, probably the best, but Auburn's season helped.

Ingram- Honestly, Alabama returning to prominence lead his campaign. Deserved it, but Alabama's season and the SEC championship game were huge factors

If he gets this in 12 or 13 games (i.e. before Heisman is awarded), you are talking about one of the best seasons for a WR ever. However, I think his production is going to go down. Teams will start making it the number 1 priority to contain him, and (hopefully) Alabama takes advantage with its other weapons, first and foremost its three really good RBs running against a softened up defense.

I think you are talking more in the range of 1,600 yards and 15 Tds for Cooper through 12 or 13 games, which rightly or wrongly doesn't get a WR the Heisman.
