re: Was Derrick Thomas a Heisman Finalist?

D Thomas was truly dominant. Unlike C Young, no one shut him down or out. He affected every game he played in that year. I was in awe watching him block punts, strip balls, make sacks , etc. Not sure about other SEC fans, but TM7 was the first defensive player since D Thomas affect so many phases of every game he played. (As an aside, if TM7 doesn’t miss Auburn due to a failed test for syn marijuana he finishes 2nd that year )
