Where are they now? Heisman winner Eric Crouch

ESPN.com will catch up with a notable sports figure from yesteryear each Thursday in its "Where Are They Now?" series.

Claim to fame: A gifted runner with tremendous instincts, Eric Crouch put his stamp on college football by quarterbacking the Nebraska Cornhuskers to the national championship game and capturing the Heisman Trophy in 2001.

Crouch didn't compile dazzling passing statistics as a collegian, but that wasn't his job in Nebraska's option-oriented offense. He was, however, a force with his legs. During his four seasons with the Huskers, Crouch racked up 3,434 yards and 59 touchdowns as a rusher.
