Why is Derrick Henry the frontrunner to win the Heisman Trophy? He isn’t even the best player at his own position much less the best player in the country.
I have had this discussion with many of my colleagues several times in the last few weeks including two Heisman Trophy voters.
I have watched Alabama play just about every game this year. He is a good running back, don’t get me wrong. But that is all he is, a good running back who is running behind an offensive line that has improved with each game this season.
