Alabama Football: Najee’s Heisman snub might be a good thing

Adam Hagy-USA TODAY Sports

Najee Harris’s Heisman snub might actually be good for Alabama football.

Fans were frustrated when the list of Heisman finalists was released on Thursday. Even though Alabama football got two of the four finalists, Najee Harris was snubbed from the list. This is not fair to Najee Harris, but it might actually be a good thing for the Crimson Tide.

Heisman finalists are circumstantial. The committee makes the cut where there is an obvious drop in votes. Some years have three finalists, but some years have five. This year, they cut the list at four.
