I think the nod comparison to Desmond alluded to that point.

He is a finalist. Just not enough of a finalist to be a top 5 year

Najee made a strong case to be, at the very least, a finalist after his SEC championship performance.
If he had a few more games like the championship game, he would have been there.

Yes, top 5 finishes are quite remarkable.

Glad to see Bama players doing so well. This vote is real simple. If folks are voting for the best player in college football then Smith will win the Trophy. If folks are voting for the winner to be the most important player in college football then Mac Jones will win. In the end I think Mac wins it. He should at least anyway. If he had got hurt this year and Young had to come in and start a few games then Bama would not only have not made the playoffs but they would have went 0 for how many games Mac would have missed. Young was not ready for the spotlight. No way he could have carried the team on his back like Mac did.

The last regular season game may have done Smith in...the punt return for a TD may have saved him but I think jones wins it!

The criteria is supposed to be best college football player. Not the mvp. However, if they stuck with the criteria some freakishly big o lineman would win it most years.

I don’t agree with this. Young has some serious arm talent. I was disappointed the staff didn’t let him run the full offense when he was in the game for mop up duty.
We played Tennessee, MSU, Kentucky, Auburn, LSU, and Arkansas to end the season. We could have ran Najee in the wildcat those games - for the entire game - and won. Young would have boat raced them just like Mac did.

Meh. Trask and Lawrence will split the non-Bama votes.

It took 2019 LSU to hand Trevor his only loss of his career thus far. So I can understand giving him the invite. He's not gonna win it tho

I agree on Smith. Jones has done great but I do not think he is the best player. He has the best Oline. Absurd time to throw. The best RB to make PA effective as hell. Trask put up similar numbers with an average at best Oline and no run game. His value was more than Jones.

I don’t know if we watched the same player. Young made a few good throws in mop up duty this year but that about it. When Young came in and started taking snaps all I seen was the offense either stall or go backwards. He was completely awful. If he did not hold on to the ball to long and taking a sack then he was inaccurate throwing the ball and Bama would have to punt. He also had several careless turnovers. Young may get better over time but right now the starting QB job is wide open for next year if Mac goes pro.

He threw a whole 22 passes this year, and didn’t throw an INT. Had two NFL level throws vs Kentucky. There will be no QB battle next year.

A crying shame Najee wasn't invited. he would have my vote.

I love Smitty, but Mac Jones would have gotten my first place vote. He lead the nation in QB efficiency and just set the SECCG passing record while leading his team to an undefeated season.

Smitty is amazing player and Dude deserve the heisman... But mac Jones deserve the heisman as well. No matter what, I'll be proud of these guys.. they will support each other.

He had a couple of fumbles. Yeah he had a few great throws this year. Any Qb no matter how bad they are had a few good throws this year. The guy at Tennessee threw a few nice passes against Bama this year. Doesn’t mean that he was a good QB though. Same for Young. Young was not impressive this year. He needed a redshirt year bad. The Freshman that filled in at Clemson this year is way ahead of Young. If Mac goes pro the QB job at Bama is wide open next year.
