ESPN.com continued its offseason coverage this week and looked at potential Heisman candidates in the ACC.
Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and Florida State running back Dalvin Cook are named the frontrunners with Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya potentially in the mix as well. A few Pitt players found themselves getting some recognition as well.
Running back James Conner, of course, was one of those. The other? Safety Jordan Whitehead. Obviously, while both are exceptional players that could contend for conference awards, a Heisman run by either seems unlikely.
Conner put together a monster season two years ago and while he's proven capable of posting the big numbers needed for such a campaign, there are too many variables.
