00:00power factor. He is just magic. There should be something that makes us sit up and take notice.
00:04I would give him the Heisman if I could. I want him on my football team.
00:11If there is one pose in football that signals achievement, it's this one. Everyone who's
00:17ever picked up a football has imitated the Heisman Trophy, awarded to the nation's best
00:23college player. This countdown isn't so much about college exploits, which would explain why
00:35the only two-time winner of the Heisman, Archie Griffin, didn't get within sniffing distance of
00:40our list. If you're looking for the top 10 Heisman winners in the NFL, you're talking about guys who
00:44perform in the NFL, not the guys who perform in college. He has to be a difference maker. When
00:54the chips are on the table, he rises to the occasion. 1,000 career catches for the amazing
01:01Tim Brown. Everybody, from my mom to your mom to my cousin to my grandmother, knows who won the
01:07Heisman Trophy. He's somebody who gets people to want to buy the jersey immediately when you hear
01:11that he was drafted. That's what the Heisman Trophy winner is. Stats are important, but it
01:16takes more than just numbers to crack our countdown. They got to do it with pizzazz. Guys get yards
01:21every week in every game. We need more than that for this list. The number 10 Heisman winner in the
01:27NFL, Tim Brown. Not high enough. Not high enough. Tim was a guy who longevity is going to speak volumes
01:33for itself. His ability to return kicks early in his career, his run after the catch, and I think he's
01:39certainly a guy that empowered what the Raiders were about in terms of a guy who had great speed
01:44and could do a lot of different things. He didn't have Peyton Manning throwing in the football
01:51consistently. Tim Brown played with about, what, 744 different quarterbacks with the Raiders.
02:07Tim Brown played with Donald Hollis. I mean, he played with all these crazy quarterbacks that
02:15people don't even remember, and he still put up numbers year after year after year. I think that's
02:20what makes Tim Brown so impressive. He made a tremendous kick. He's the one who did it no
02:28matter how bad the quarterback was. In 1987, Notre Dame's Tim Brown became the first wide receiver
02:37to win the Heisman. He's got it. He's in. Brown's dominance as a college wide receiver
02:42player, translated to the pros as he became one of the most prolific receivers in NFL history.
02:54As a receiver, Brown is in the top ten of three major receiving categories.
03:13So has more quicker than any other Heisman winner. NFL history.
03:18Round of it. Brown of the 40. 30. Under the 20. His first one returned. It's a touchdown.
03:28The wide receiver as not a diva. Tim Brown was known for a lot of things during his stellar
03:35career. Incredible. But being flashy wasn't one of them. Tim Brown was boring, and he didn't plan
03:43a very exciting team for most of his career. Tim Brown has the numbers. He has the consistency,
03:47but going in all those directions might hurt him because there's nothing that stands out.
03:51I was told, and I was shocked when I was told this, but I was told that I was too
03:55nice,
03:56and that my image was too clean, and that really shocked me.
04:03A very professional person in how he went about his business, and maybe sometimes those guys don't
04:08get as much attention, but clearly from a productivity standpoint, this guy was one of the best ever.
04:14Brown's there. Touchdown Raiders.
04:16There were four players who won both the Heisman winner in the NFL.
04:22Marcus Allen.
04:23Marcus Allen's got to be higher. I mean, you think Marcus Allen, USC, tailback, I mean,
04:28everything he's accomplished, I mean, move him up the list.
04:31No guy before 1980 had ever rushed for 2,000 yards in a season in college. Marcus Allen rushed for
04:372,300.
04:39Allen won his Heisman in 1981, and a certain California-based professional football team
04:45took notice.
04:50Oakland's first-round selection, running back, Marcus Allen, USC.
05:00A guy that has always liked to collect players as if they're curious.
05:04He went to a Raiders practice, everywhere you looked there was a Heisman.
05:07Yeah, old babies, don't you love him?
05:08It's great to be a Raider.
05:09You know why he took him.
05:12Sims is a Heisman trophy winner, that's the only reason.
05:14So the Raiders have themselves a Heisman trophy winner, which certainly does not hurt you when
05:19you want to pump up your team and get people to realize that you've got a big man on your
05:22team.
05:22Maybe not the number one running back, but he's got that trophy under his arm.
05:28He was a guy who you looked at him and you thought, oh man, it's going to be a bad
05:31day for us.
05:32He had a panache about him. He was a very poetic running back. The way he moved was like he
05:38was on a
05:38dance floor.
05:43Marcus Allen did live up to billing. He was so versatile.
05:47Cuts to Jackson, getting an Allen block, cuts under it, bangs through Bosler! Touchdown Raiders!
05:53Marcus Allen was an incredible pro player. Incredible. So good near the goal line.
05:58Our number nine Heisman winner is third on the all-time career rushing touchdown list for the 123.
06:04Exactly. And many were scored with his signature move. Marcus Allen! Touchdown! His 100th career
06:11rushing touchdown! Marcus is a cool cat. He's a good looking dude. He's a charismatic guy. So
06:16that fits his personality. He says, no man, I'm not going in. I'm going over.
06:20I have already had a call from Moscow. They think that Marcus Allen is a new secret weapon and they
06:27insist that we dismantle it. Even presidents notice a Heisman winner. No executive order was needed to
06:33name Allen the MVP of Super Bowl 18 after his 191 yard two touchdown performance. The Super Bowl run
06:41against the Redskins, a 74 yard touchdown, that's a lot like those YouTube clips where it looks like a
06:4615 year old is playing peewee football against 10 year olds.
07:03Marcus Allen's at number nine. How can he be at number nine? Good question, Kenny. Here's your answer.
07:09Allen was a backup in his final three seasons with the Raiders. Sure, he went to the Pro Bowl in
07:14five of
07:15his first six seasons but only once more in the last decade of his career. Marcus Allen was an
07:20incredible college football player who had two or three very good NFL seasons, who had a signature
07:26Super Bowl highlight and had many, many, many years of men. You look at his season by season numbers and
07:32he didn't have a whole lot of thousand yard seasons. He was just a very good running back
07:36for a long time. So number nine is a fair spot. The number eight highest winner in the NFL,
07:43Earl Campbell.
07:48When I see Earl Campbell, I think there's no running back more fun to watch.
07:54I would make the argument that nobody has ever been more powerful as running back than Earl Campbell.
07:59Earl Campbell had two or three amazing seasons and then blew his knee out and that was the end of
08:05that. If you've just joined us, Earl Campbell is out of the ball game. He wasn't able to play as
08:11long
08:12as some of the other great running backs. I don't think that diminishes anything that he's done though.
08:20Yeah. There's a guy that came into the NFL, not unexpectedly an impact player. Coming out of
08:25Texas, the Heisman Trophy winner. And he comes in here and helps these guys out, running the ball
08:30over 300 times in that season. Just an incredible back. Here's a guy that not only became the NFL's
08:37rookie of the year, but the MVP. In only his 12th pro game, but Tyler Rose was in full bloom
08:43in front
08:43of the national audience of Monday Night Football. Watching that game with my dad and Earl Campbell
08:49just went racing right at the sideline against the Miami Dolphins defense.
08:54At the 50, he may go.
08:57Campbell wasn't a one-season wonder. He became only the second player to lead the NFL in rushing
09:03three straight years, including a career-high 1,934 yards in 1980.
09:12In pro football's passing revolution, Campbell is the aberration, the one man larger than the revolution.
09:24Everything's bigger in Texas, including the legend of hometown hero, Earl Campbell.
09:29You just could not tackle him with a hand or an arm. In fact, you couldn't tackle him with a
09:33shoulder a lot of times.
09:35Unless you had two or three sets of shoulders. He turned linebackers into speed bumps and
09:40defensive backs into road kill. I love to watch Earl, the way he ran over people.
09:46The video of Earl Gorey, Isaiah Robertson is one of the most famous videos in history.
09:51He gave out so many more hits probably that he took. It's like, boom, you just, hey, meet me, I'm
09:57Earl Campbell.
09:59Boom, hey, here, have some shoulder pads. Here, have some arm. Boom, here, have some elbow.
10:07And when his playing days are over, he won't have to write his autobiography. He runs it on every play.
10:18Despite his brief career, our number eight Heisman winner's impact was long lasting.
10:24If Earl was in the game, you didn't leave your seat. You put the binoculars on 34 and you stayed
10:30with him, whatever he did.
10:31It's just so tough to say that Earl Campbell is not high on that list because in his prime, that
10:39was the standard by which everything was measured in the sport.
10:43Earl Campbell's not on your list. You shouldn't have a list.
10:45Coming up, the Heisman stance is well-bust.
10:50Before becoming the old ball coach, Steve Spurrier was a Heisman-winning quarterback at the University of Florida.
10:56But Spurrier's NFL career fizzled, and he threw 60 interceptions and only 40 touchdowns.
11:04A lot of guys went home with their trophy, but never really had anything to show of it in the
11:08NFL.
11:09Ty Detmer threw for 5,100 yards the year he won the Heisman. In his eight-year NFL career, he
11:17threw for a paltry 60.
11:19What a stupid throw. Man, was that a gift. Boy, that was dumb.
11:22You have to be able to do it on the field. Not all Heisman trophy winners can't.
11:26Charlie Ward went to play basketball. Danny Werfel couldn't throw the deep out.
11:30The first turnover of the day, and it might be deadly.
11:34After a historic rookie season,
11:37He eclipses the record for passing yards in a season by a rookie quarterback.
11:42Our next player came back down to earth, only to rise again like the Caped Crusader he is.
11:49No way a guy who's not even going to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame is above Pro Football
11:57Hall of Famers.
11:59He's been winner in the NFL, Cam Newton.
12:03Here's a guy who took the college football world by storm.
12:07Gets to the NFL, and immediately, the entire story of the Carolina Panthers is Cam Newton.
12:13Newton moves up and guns it long downfields.
12:16Look at that throne.
12:17The one person that you want to put in exactly the kind of impact one from who comes in with
12:23that.
12:25Our number 10 Heisman winner at Auburn University.
12:29He threw 51 touchdowns in the SEC.
12:32That is unheard of, given the level of talent that he's playing with.
12:35So the one season he had was as good as any season that I've ever seen.
12:39When you factor in everything, the historical struggles of guys who've had to start right away.
12:46The fact that he was a one-year wonder, potentially, in college.
12:50The utter lack of an offseason.
12:52You put all that together, and Cam Newton might have had the most remarkable rookie season ever.
12:58Season of giving, man.
13:19Cam Newton took the Carolina Panthers from the worst offense in the league to one of the five best offenses
13:24in the league.
13:25They scored 17 touchdowns in 2010.
13:28They scored 48 in Newton's first season.
13:32They scored 17 touchdowns in 2010.
13:36Cam himself scored 35 in 2011.
13:40That's a bit of 40.
13:41That's to the right.
13:4140.
13:4220.
13:4320.
13:44Cam Newton!
13:49During his remarkable rookie year, Cam Newton made the NFL record book his personal playground.
13:55Just as you'd expect a Heisman winner to do.
13:59Cam Newton walked away with the most passing yards ever for a rookie.
14:03The most rushing touchdowns ever for any quarterback who's ever played.
14:07He's entirely too low.
14:08Not to be outdone, in 2015, Super Cam led the Panthers to a remarkable 15-1 record and a trip
14:18to the Super Bowl.
14:21Carolina Panthers are ahead of the Super Bowl 50s in Santa Clara, California.
14:26To me, he is the next generation of quarterbacks.
14:29He's putting together a resume we've literally never seen in football history.
14:32In five years, we could be looking at him one, two, or three on this list.
14:40I didn't know Pitt had a football team until I heard a ton of said.
14:47Be considered as the number one football player in the whole United States.
14:50It would mean a great deal to me because I am striving to be the best.
14:54Heisman winners are game changers.
14:56And a team would pay just about any price to acquire one.
15:02The Cowboys have been established as a heavy preseason favorite because on the day of the draft,
15:06they were able to give to Seattle three draft choices in exchange for a Heisman Trophy winner.
15:12When that trade was made by Dallas with Seattle to get that pick, I remember saying,
15:17that's going to be the championship for them.
15:20He's coming to a Cowboys team that is already America's team.
15:30So all he had to do was skip the part where he was a prospect and play it in your
15:34Hall of Fame level.
15:35No pressure.
15:36Tony Dorsett has scored his first touchdown as a pro.
15:41Oh, Tony!
15:43Our number six Heisman winner delivered in a big way,
15:46rushing for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns in his rookie year.
15:51There was nothing scarier for an opponent than to see him take that pitch, follow the blocks.
15:56One more block, he might go.
15:58And then, whoosh.
16:00He was named Rookie of the Year and was the first player ever to win the college championship one year
16:05and the Super Bowl the next.
16:07What can you say?
16:08This is complete, total, utter domination.
16:11My goodness, that first step was amazing.
16:18That XDR touchdown.
16:20Go on.
16:24Oh, my.
16:42As slighted as the Cowboys have been by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, let's not slight him on this
16:46list.
16:47Our number six Heisman winner was a 1,000-yard rusher in eight of his first nine seasons.
16:52And when he retired, only Walter Payton had racked up more rushing yards.
16:56So why is Dorsett only number six on our list?
16:59Blame the man in a funny act.
17:01Tom Landry knew if he could put a cap on the number of touches Dorsett had, it would prolong his
17:05career.
17:06Tony didn't like it.
17:07I think people forget about how dynamic and explosive he was.
17:12Tony Dorsett on the touchdown, and it was.
17:17If he had the moments of pizzazz that did leave you wanting more, and you just wonder if there was
17:23one more moment of greatness in the 80s, maybe he'd be even higher.
17:28Up next, which versatile Heisman?
17:31By Heisman, Larry and L.
17:33Charles Woodson.
17:34Yeah.
17:35Charles Woodson is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the greatest Heisman Trophy winners of all time because he
17:41did it differently than anybody else.
17:44He deserves on the list, yes, because you can make a case he was a better NFL cornerback than he
17:50was a college player.
17:51Back in the direction from the stop line to the end of the touchdown, touchdown, Charles Woodson!
17:59You have him ranked the fifth best Heisman winner in terms of NFL success.
18:05I don't know.
18:06I just can't get it out of my mind that, you know, that that should have been Manning's trophy that
18:10year.
18:12The vision, you know, of winning the Heisman kind of left a little bit because no defensive player has won
18:18the Heisman Trophy.
18:19Every year at Heisman Trophy voting time, what happens?
18:23The offensive guy wins it.
18:25That's the way it was until our number five Heisman winner beat out Peyton Manning to become the first and
18:31only primarily defensive player to win college football's most prestigious honor.
18:37I debate the year that Charles won it and the fact that well into his 30s he's still one of
18:42the best defensive players in the National Football League to me just signifies the voters got it right that year.
18:47Charles Woodson was a deserving Heisman Trophy winner.
18:53With the fourth pick in the draft, the Oakland Raiders have selected Charles Woodson.
18:58I barely remember his Raiders career.
19:01While his Oakland career was mostly forgettable, our number five Heisman winner was a key figure in one very memorable
19:08play.
19:09Charles Woodson rocked his former Michigan teammate.
19:15After eight roller coaster seasons in Oakland, Woodson left the black hole for greener pastures.
19:22The player I think of as Charles Woodson, the Hall of Famer, is the player with the pack.
19:29Since arriving in Green Bay, our number five Heisman winner has been elected to four Pro Bowls and was named
19:36Defensive Player of the Year in 2009.
19:39His 11 picks for touchdowns rank second all time.
19:43Palmer wins the right side, intercepted, wins the right side of his top line.
19:46Number 10, 15, 10, 5, touchdown.
19:50His Raiders career was important, but I think it's his Packers career.
19:56The president don't want to come watch us to the Super Bowl.
19:58You feel me?
19:59That's right.
19:59That's right.
20:00That's right.
20:01We'll go see him.
20:04Woodson fulfilled his campaign promise by helping the Packers bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Titletown.
20:11The Green Bay Packers are world champions of football.
20:15Charles said, if the president doesn't want to come to watch us at the Super Bowl, then we're going to
20:21him.
20:21And I've now learned something that every NFL quarterback already knows too well.
20:26Don't mess with Charles Woodson.
20:28Yes, sir.
20:30I think Charles Woodson should be higher because the Heisman Trophy is such a big part of his identity.
20:37Charles Woodson in a Heisman pose in the end zone.
20:40When you combine what he did at Michigan and then marry that up with what I think has turned into
20:46a Hall of Fame pro career,
20:48you've got a guy who certainly belongs in the top five.
20:51You could even punch him up higher if you want to.
20:52I have no argument with him at number four.
20:54Even he's at five.
20:56Oh, put him at four then.
21:00Number four, Heisman Trophy in the NFL.
21:02Paul Horning.
21:04Four.
21:05Number five is the golden boy, Paul Horning.
21:08Paul Horning, coming out of Notre Dame, Heisman Trophy winner, a lot of hype around him.
21:11He was one of these very, very versatile backs.
21:14That's quarterback Paul Horning with the ball, carrying forth 25 yards against SMU.
21:18They were wondering, what is he going to do in the pros?
21:20What will his niche be?
21:22Touchdown, Notre Dame.
21:24He was kind of the last in the line of players who did multiple things the way he did them.
21:34Thirty-one counter on three.
21:38Ready?
21:38Up!
21:39Our number four Heisman winner almost missed out on the main qualification to make our list.
21:45Paul Horning barely won the Heisman.
21:47Of all the players on this list, Paul Horning had the lowest number of Heisman votes.
21:51It was a really interesting vote that year.
21:53Jim Brown took the East.
21:55Tommy McDonald took Texas and Oklahoma.
21:58Paul Horning took the Midwest.
22:00But the Golden Boy prevailed and took home the Heisman hardware.
22:05I think of Paul Horning, Packers great.
22:07Not Paul Horning, Notre Dame great.
22:12Paul Horning, to me, might have been one of the more overrated players in the NFL.
22:16And I think that he might be a little high on that list.
22:18He didn't do anything great, but he did a lot of things well.
22:21You're entitled to your opinion, Pete.
22:23Just don't express it around Bart Starr.
22:25I'm not sure enough people realize how talented this man was.
22:31Not only was he a Heisman Trophy winner, he was an excellent runner.
22:35He was an excellent blocker.
22:37Watch Paul Horning's block when a blitzing cold linebacker shake Taylor loose.
22:41He was a great pass receiver.
22:44He threw our option pass very, very well.
22:48He was a great kicker.
22:49Three straight incomplete passes give Paul Horning another chance to swing his golden toe.
22:54Everything that we called on him to do, he excelled at.
22:57He became what he had to be to make us successful.
23:02Paul could do it all, and he did love to score.
23:05Both on the field and off, I guess.
23:08Goalie luck, in a nutshell.
23:10Ha!
23:11When you think of the Packers sweep, which was one of the most vaunted, most historic plays of all time,
23:18it was Horning carrying the ball.
23:21What they're trying to get is a seal here, and a seal here.
23:24And it was also Jim Taylor, who was better than he was.
23:27Try to run this play in the alley.
23:30Get the block, he's inside the denny, get the five, cuts it in the end zone for the touchdown.
23:33And there he is on the Green Bay Packers' power of the week, and the days of yours.
23:42Despite his golden boy status, debate is rampant on Paul Hornick's placement on our list.
23:48He was a great player.
23:49He was a two-time MVP in the National Football League, Heisman Trophy, Pro Football Hall of Fame, and above
23:55all, a winner.
23:56If you just simply look at the stat sheet of rushing yards and that sort of thing, you're like,
23:59Yeah, I don't know, man. I'm not sure that resume's big enough.
24:03When you watched him play, you knew you were watching a star.
24:06He should be in there in the top five, I would think, without any question,
24:10and I would nudge him up a point or two.
24:13I don't think there's any way you guys should have Paul Hornick ready to edit Tim Tebow or Earl Kemp.
24:19Other than the fact he was a golden domer.
24:22Some golden domers make that choice.
24:25Coming up, which former first-over-round number three Heisman winner?
24:30Cover three Heisman winner in the NFL, O.J. Simpson.
24:34Top ten Heisman Trophy winners.
24:37The first one I think of is O.J. Simpson.
24:431968 Heisman Trophy winner O.J. Simpson was more than just college football's best player.
24:48He was the biggest name in the game.
24:52Talk about T-ball being the biggest college football star.
24:55O.J. Simpson was the biggest college football player I remember.
24:58He came out of Southern Cal.
25:01He had everything to make him that guy.
25:06Every time O.J. gets his hand from the ball, this entire crowd comes to his feet.
25:10When he really broke open, it was like your defense was in mud.
25:15They couldn't close any gap between themselves and him.
25:18I think you could easily argue that O.J. Simpson is the most valuable player of the 70s for the
25:24entire league.
25:25The man we are watching tonight is one of the great athletes of all time.
25:29Many say the greatest runner who ever carried the football, his name is O.J.
25:34O.J. isn't a guy that anyone can look at as the same, obviously, in his post-football life.
25:41Any time you see the name O.J. Simpson, you cringe.
25:46But if you were looking purely between those lines on the field and what he did, you have to acknowledge
25:53he was a phenomenal player.
25:56I am surprised that O.J. Simpson is number three.
26:00What did O.J. ever win?
26:02Nothing.
26:03Didn't win a national championship in college, correct?
26:05Didn't?
26:06He won a national championship his first year.
26:10Dummy.
26:12Win a Super Bowl at the NFL level.
26:14I'm putting Marcus Allen ahead of him.
26:16I'm putting Tony Dorsett ahead of him.
26:18Tony Dorsett!
26:20I'm putting guys who won championships ahead of him.
26:25Why is a guy that roots for Cleveland sports talking about championships?
26:32Show me a Browns championship from the last 60 years.
26:39The Buffalo Bills select as their first choice, the first round,
26:44Ackback O.J. Simpson, University of Southern California.
26:48When you draft a Heisman Trophy winner, you expect him to be big, fast, and strong.
26:54If you were to mold a running back and say, be like this, O.J. Simpson would be that running
27:02back.
27:03It's a good way to even run a football in California.
27:06Do you think anybody's going to catch him?
27:08You're wrong.
27:09You even expect him to break records.
27:12O.J. Simpson, he's just got a new National Football League record.
27:18But you don't expect him to rush for 2,000 yards in a 14-game season,
27:22which is what the Juice did in 1973.
27:26It's probably the most remarkable single-season performance by any running back in the NFL.
27:32O.J. is just remarkable every time he handles the ball.
27:36He finished 859 yards ahead of the number two rusher.
27:42That's like winning a race, crossing the finish line, and the other guys are barely at the halfway point.
27:47I just wonder if the three of us at this moment fully realize what it has been our great privilege
27:53to watch O.J. Simpson run for 2,000 yards in one season.
28:05With an on-field resume as good as they come, O.J. Simpson firmly sits as our number three Heisman
28:12winner.
28:13When you talk about what he did in college, you could put him at the top.
28:20When you talk about the Heisman Trophy winners in the NFL, I mean, he's still pretty hot.
28:27O.J. Simpson, as a man, Jim Brown could pull you over.
28:31Barry Sanders might have had crazier moves, but take O.J. over any man who's ever done it.
28:39Up next, which mild-mannered Heisman?
28:41The number two Heisman winner, yeah.
28:44Well, Roger Stahl.
28:46He has that superhero quality about him that makes him worthy of status like this.
28:53Everybody would want their daughters to marry him, their sons to be like him.
28:58He captained America. That's what Roger Stahlbeck was. Captain America.
29:02The Captain America of America's team.
29:06They are the Dallas Cowboy. America's team.
29:10Sorry, you just wanted to vomit.
29:13We were so kind of inundated with Captain America that I stopped reading comic books because of Roger Stahlbeck.
29:23Can you imagine today a guy from Navy winning the Heisman Trophy?
29:28Our number two Heisman winner led the midshipmen to two wins in the Army-Navy game.
29:33In his junior season, he earned his trophy by guiding Navy to a 9-1 record and the number two
29:39ranking in the nation.
29:40Kennedy was still president when he won the Heisman, so that's a pretty cool thing just to put him on
29:44this list.
29:45And obviously, his career was so unique.
29:47Roger Stahlbeck put football on hold for four years to serve his military commitment.
29:53You miss the old days.
29:54I miss football a great deal, I guess I do.
29:57Just the competition and using God-given ability, really.
30:01I just miss being a part of football.
30:03He basically had this long gap, and then he comes back and really puts together one of the greatest decades
30:08ever for an NFL quarterback.
30:10Well, the Cowboys made a miracle.
30:12Roger takes the snap.
30:14Pumps it once.
30:15One log.
30:16Down the near sideline for Drew Pearson.
30:18Pearson makes the catch at the five.
30:20Touchdown!
30:23You know, I enjoy sex as much as Joe Namor.
30:26Only I do it with one girl.
30:28You cannot go against Captain America.
30:30He was a good Christian guy.
30:32Roger Stahlbeck was Tim Tebow before Tim Tebow with all the dramatics.
30:36The only thing he did that was mean was beat you if you were on the other side.
30:4042 seconds left in the game.
30:43Redskins lead by six.
30:44Stahlbeck throwing in the end zone.
30:46Cody Hill!
30:47Touchdown!
30:48I hated that guy, because I was a 49er fan.
30:51He knocked them out of the playoffs three years in a row.
30:54They were up 11 points with two minutes to go at one point.
30:57The clock is running, and they come back again.
30:59Stahlbeck throwing.
31:01Touchdown!
31:02The Cowboys have come from behind!
31:12I'm near G.O.
31:13It's on two.
31:14Heisman winners need to be extraordinary,
31:16and Stahlbeck was more remarkable than most.
31:19He entered the league as a 27-year-old rookie,
31:22and within two years changed the culture of the Cowboys.
31:26They called the Cowboys in those days next year's champions.
31:31They say the Cowboys can not win the big one.
31:34He was the missing ingredient.
31:35Once they put him in the starting job, that's all they needed.
31:38There it is!
31:39The Cowboys are the champions!
31:41Our number two Heisman winner led the Cowboys to four Super Bowls.
31:45Stahlbeck on track the pass.
31:47Winning in Super Bowl VI.
31:49Touchdown!
31:50It's a hammer right there!
31:52And Super Bowl XII.
31:54Roger goes deep across the middle.
31:56Cut!
31:56Touchdown!
31:57He's got the stats, and he has the leadership,
32:00and he has the wins, and he has Super Bowls.
32:02So he's got every part of the arc.
32:04We remember his greatness on levels that, by today's standards,
32:09are very difficult to achieve.
32:10It's a fairy tale, and it lives forever.
32:14Coming up, which Heisman winner roared his name?
32:17The Heisman winner in the NFL, Barry Sanders.
32:21Number one.
32:22There are some guys who are great athletes,
32:25and just by being such a great athlete,
32:27they're going to be a phenomenal player at the college level.
32:30Very few of those guys are great enough athletes
32:32to be phenomenal at the pro level.
32:35Barry Sanders is one of those few guys.
32:37Touchdown, Barry Sanders!
32:40What a sight!
32:42I'd pay money to see Jim Brown,
32:45Will Campbell,
32:46and Barry Sanders play football,
32:48and they're the only three.
32:49And I think I'd put Sanders at the top of that list.
32:52What a run by Barry Sanders!
32:55He is something.
32:58I'm not so sure that he would be the greatest Heisman Trophy winner
33:02to ever play in the NFL,
33:03because he didn't win in the NFL.
33:06The one really damning...
33:08Neither has anybody that was a Philadelphia Eagle before
33:112017.
33:12A statistic in Barry's career is minus one yard
33:15against Green Bay after the 1994 season.
33:18I can't defend that.
33:19It's a guy not getting it done
33:21in the most important stage.
33:22What's the status of Barry at half time?
33:24Minus ten.
33:25I figure he'll go below ten.
33:27He'll be minus twenty by the end of the day.
33:36Heisman winners have a wow factor,
33:38and nobody had nothing in Barry's.
33:41Elusive doesn't begin to tell you what this guy could do.
33:45What an incredible run by the best back in the National Football League.
33:49Barry was like bobbing for apples with your hands tied behind your back,
33:54and he'd show you like this, and they couldn't get it.
33:57He was like the grease peak.
33:58Barry Sanders with a move that Mikhail Baryshnikov couldn't make.
34:04The play where he spun Harlan Barnett into the ground for the Patriots
34:07is still the single greatest play I've ever seen.
34:09He didn't know which way he was going,
34:10and I'm not even sure Barry knew which way he was going.
34:12Barry Sanders turned around a defensive back about three times.
34:17Wow.
34:18There hasn't been a second Barry Sanders.
34:20There probably never will be.
34:26Some NFL players are stars,
34:28but only Barry Sanders left stars, starstruck.
34:32I had the honor of playing with him for a year.
34:34It was my rookie year,
34:35and I just remember my first time in the huddle,
34:37you know, I'm looking at Barry,
34:39and he's like, wow, I can't believe I'm sitting in a huddle.
34:42I remember, you know, we broke the huddle.
34:44I said, hut.
34:45I turned around, and I realized that it's Barry Sanders.
34:48So I pitched the ball, and I just stood there.
34:51Wow.
34:52I just pitched the ball to Barry Sanders,
34:54and the coach is ripping me.
34:55You need to boot out.
34:56You have the defense in to contain.
34:58And I'm like, coach, that's Barry Sanders.
35:02Barry Sanders should absolutely be number one on this list.
35:0515,000 rushing yards, 109 touchdowns,
35:10and a 2,000-yard season
35:11made Barry Sanders the easy choice
35:14for the best Heisman winner in the NFL.
35:17Forget about just being one of the most dynamic running backs,
35:19talented running backs in the history of the NFL.
35:22He was one of the greatest players, period.
35:24He, to me, embodies incredible talent.
35:29He could do things as a runner in college and in the NFL
35:32that no other player could do.
35:34Only Barry Sanders.
35:36Any time the ball was in his hand,
35:38you didn't want to miss it.
35:39You did not want to miss what he could do.
35:41I'd have paid pretty close to any price
35:44to see Barry Sanders play the game.
35:47It's the greatest running back in the National Football League today,
35:50and it's one of the greatest I've seen in a long, long time.
35:54Having played against him in college and the NFL,
35:58I don't think there's any doubt that he should be number one.
36:02He should be number one, probably.
36:04He's number one?
36:04Yeah, oh, good.
36:05Good.
36:06You guys got it right.
36:07You got it right.
36:09That's good.
36:11He's number one.
