Tavien Feaster’s loyalty lies with his future quarterback, not his position.
Two of the last 10 Heisman Trophy winners were running backs. The other eight were quarterbacks.
And even though Derrick Henry was the first running back to win the Heisman Trophy since Mark Ingram in 2009, Feaster wanted Watson to leave New York with the trophy.
“I was kind of disappointed Deshaun didn’t win it, but it was definitely a plus for running backs, because a running back won it,” Feaster said. “He’s a phenomenal running back. Derrick Henry, he’s a horse, definitely that was a plus for a running back, just for one of us to be nominated up there.
