Alabama running back Derrick Henry won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, capping a junior campaign that saw him rush for an SEC-record 1,986 yards on 339 carries and score a conference record-tying 23 touchdowns.
Henry is the first running back to claim the Heisman since 2009, when Crimson Tide running back Mark Ingram became the first Alabama player to win the award. In 2009, Ingram edged runner-up Toby Gerhart -- a Stanford running back -- by a single percentage point, the narrowest margin of victory in the history of the award.
Henry bested Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson.
