AP HEISMAN WATCH: Westbrook catching up to contenders

Wide receivers have rarely won the Heisman Trophy.

Desmond Howard of Michigan was the last in 1991. Tim Brown of Notre Dame did it in 1987. And that is the complete list.

A receiver will not be winning the Heisman Trophy this season either. Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson has all but wrapped up the award, but Oklahoma's Dede Westbrook is starting to get some attention.

Westbrook began the season slowly, with 17 catches for 154 yards in the first three games. Since then he has been all but unstoppable.
