An Alabama player made USA Today's Heisman Top 10, but it's not who you would think.

Quarterback Jacob Coker brought up the tail end of Paul Myerberg's list - headlined by Oregon's Marcus Mariota and Baylor's Bryce Petty - despite not having played a down of football at Alabama yet.

To be honest I thought the OP said "the" Heisman favorite, not "a" Heisman favorite. Even with that qualification, it's a bit of a stretch to say he was considered a Heisman favorite last year. So he was number 10 of 10 on this guy's list (that's is borderline dark horse territory for this one guy's list, not exactly a favorite). I just googled and the first 5 results for preseason Heisman lists for 2014 didn't mention Coker and some went as deep as 15 names. I still say that is exaggeration at best and complete revisionist history at worst to say Coker was considered a Heisman favorite preseason last year.
