It's Dec. 10 at the PlayStation Theater in midtown Manhattan. The 82nd Heisman Trophy is about to be awarded.
Who will be seated in the front row? There are five players whom no one would be surprised to see: Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey, last year's Heisman runner-up; Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, another 2015 Heisman finalist; LSU running back Leonard Fournette, the Heisman frontrunner for two-thirds of the season; Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, whose dazzling play propelled the Sooners to the College Football Playoff last season; and Florida State running back Dalvin Cook, arguably the nation's most under-appreciated player last fall.
