Todd Ellis should have received a Street & Smith's 'career' Heisman for his 73 interceptions in a career 43 games played.

Dang... 3 pages and not even some random Jordan Jefferson being thrown out there, LOL. This board is slacking.

No high school qb ever entered college with as much pressure as Powlus. 4 Heisman's they said. I actually felt bad for him.
A name that doesn't ever get mentioned because he played at Rice was Tommy Kramer. 1976 was his senior year and Tony Dorsett won the Heisman.

Honor Yelberton Tittle 33K Yds 242 TDs when passing wasn’t kewl
Tittle played in 46 and 47 when Death Valley was a horseshoe. He was the first great arm LSU ever had until Bert Jones and is one of three LSU Tigers in Canton Ohio NFL Hall of Fame. Yelberton passed recently at age 90.
He was inspirational to so many young Tiger QBs after the War.

This.
Beyond the obvious ones like Peyton and Vince, this guy left school with 70 NCAA records and turned BYU into a household football name. Passed for 400 yards/game at a time this just didn't happen.
Did all this while going to the hell that is BYU and being kicked out of school the second his football career was over - even the damned school didn't appreciate him.

Steve Young in the running.

Marino? Montana?
I admit I was young, but don't remember Montana being that hyped (other than being a Notre Dame QB). He was a 3rd rd pick.
Steve Young was great, but he fell into the BYU issue- that system produced numbers, so everyone assumed it was inflated.
Peyton was the classic example of the "we already know he's great, let's find someone else" tendency; you saw that with NBA MVPS not named Jordan or Lebron. You knew he was going to be the first pick in the draft before he signed with Tennessee. People talked about his workouts with the Saints when he was still in high school.
I think Tua fell prey to that in the year Murray won, and everyone expected he'd get it the following year.
