“Who was the only Heisman winner ever to break his trophy?” OSU great Eddie George knows the answer to this real “Jeopardy” question because it was his trophy that got stuck on the x-ray conveyor belt at LaGuardia Airport and broken by an impatient TSA guy trying to get the belt running again. (Good news: the trophy was replaced for George by the Heisman Foundation, no questions asked.)
Because of his great NFL career in the glory days of the Tennessee Titans, when he and Steve “Air” McNair led the team to Super Bowl XXXIV, folks other than Buckeye fans might not recall that twenty years after Archie Griffin took home his second Heisman, running back Eddie George collected Ohio State’s sixth trophy for his performance during the 1995 season.
