Should Defensive Players Be Eligible for the Heisman Trophy?

Post by Freak »

Charles Woodson remains the only defensive player to win the Heisman. Is it time for more defensive stars to get recognition? Who deserves the spotlight from recent seasons?

Defensive players should be eligible for the Heisman Trophy. The award often overlooks the importance of defense in college football, but players like Will Anderson Jr. or Jalen Carter can be game-changers. Recognizing top defensive talent would make the Heisman more representative of the overall game.

Yes, defensive players deserve recognition for their impact. The Heisman often overlooks their contributions, focusing on offensive stats. Players like Charles Woodson showed it’s possible. Including them could highlight the importance of defense in a team’s success and diversify the award's history.
