4 months later, I still don't think Henry deserved the Heisman

First, I do think he is a fantastic player and has the skills to succeed in the NFL. However, he was a great talent on just an extremely talented team. He wouldn't even be touched until 4 yards down the line of scrimmage most of the time. He didn't have those signature, flashy runs. He just bulldozed behind a line with 40 carries. McCaffrey both on and off the field displayed Heisman-like greatness. He was the best player and most important to his team. He was a skilled musician and intelligent, to boot. I didn't see those special qualities in Henry other than strong and athletic and on a good team.
Tl;dr The best player isn't always on the best team.

He had 17 carries of 25+ yards, and 45 carries of 12+ yards.

Well, of course you don't. A thread wasn't really needed.

He was deserving. So were the other two. They gave it to him. The other two and LF can go for it next year.

Agreed. McCaffrey was multitalented and not just a plow straight ahead 45-carry-a game back.

I think he'll be just fine. Not winning the Heisman never hurt anyone.

Meh. Both Henry and McCaffrey had their pros and cons. You couldn't have gone wrong with either IMO.
