Rehashing the Heisman thing for a bit, I always wondered why “they” picked Manning to “show up” with a defensive player. They could have picked somewhat overall average Jim Plunkett, Pat Sullivan, Gino Torreta, Doug Flutie, Ty Detmer, Danny Wuerfful and even Vinny T to run their little experiment on. But they picked probably the best college QB ever, at the time.
