Heisman Hopefuls

With less than two weeks the before 2010 College Football season starts we thought we would give some love to the Heisman group coming into the year.  Like it or not a lot of winning the award is having hype entering the year and then delivering.  It is very hard to come from obscurity and win the award.  That being said we here at the Four6Three are all for the underdog winning any and everything.

Mark Ingram:  It would be absurd to make a list and not include the previous years winner.  Ingram will have every defense and defensive player he faces focusing on him.  He will also have the obstacle of sharing time with Trent Richardson in the Alabama backfield.

Ryan Mallett:  It can flat out be sad that it appears Mallett was born to play QB.  He will be a top draft pick next year and will lead the SEC in passing this year.  Don't let my Arkansas bias fool you Ryan is the real deal and will have a lot of hype to get him to NYC this year.

Jake Locker:  The Washington QB is the closest thing college fans will have to Tim Tebow this year but add in the fact he can throw.  Locker a great two sport athlete will be a big time candidate coming out of the Pac 10.

Terrelle Pryor:  Ohio State has possibly the best athlete in the nation in Pryor.  He is fast, long and has an arm.  However he tends to be more like Michael Vick and less like Payton Manning which doesn't always workout.  He will get lots of attention this year but will have to avoid losing games for the Buckeyes to stay in the Heisman race.

Jacquizz Rodgers:  If this was actually a race we might have the winner from Oregon State.  Rodgers can flat out fly and move.  He will be more experienced this year and could move up quickly in the rankings if his yards carried move as quickly as his feet.

Kellen Moore:  Boise State is finally getting a lot of love and why shouldn't their QB be apart of that.  Moore only threw 3 total interceptions last year and actually finished in the top 10 in the Heisman voting last year.  A great year from the Broncos and strong numbers for Moore and you could see him in NYC.

AJ Greene:  The lone WR in the group is impressive and he will get his catches this year.  He unlike the rest of our field has to really on a QB to get him the ball.  I expect him to have a good year but he could be limited by the abilities of his QB.

This list is more than likely missing quite a few names that could be in the mix.  We will work to update it as the year goes and look forward to watching all of these athletes do work on the field.
