True, but we all know they had huge signing bonuses that they wouldn't have gotten if they didn't get the HEisman. Now I didn't say that the Heisman made you a great NFL player I was just about to post a response about the same ones not making it in the NFL when you posted it.

None of those three received a large bonus. White, in particular, received nothing.

The NFL doesn't give huge signing bonuses to second day picks and undrafted free agents.

Theirs no way on Gods green earth Ainge would leave for the NFL after this season.

1. He has to prove he can be consistant from 1yr to the next.
2. He has greatly improved, but imagine next year after he has 2 years under Cut.
3. Not many if any QB leave early for the NFL. Not even Leinart and he was almost a lock for a number 1 pick after his Heisman and NC.

Ainge won't win the Heisman this year unless we run the table, take down the beloved in the end, and besides everyone has already given it to Troy Smith. Just watch ESPN this weekend they will tell you so:whistling: .

1. He could revert back to his old ways plus his stats can't get much better
2.Cut could be gone
3. If Matt had it to do over ......

Capitalize now!

I hope you don't think I would care. Wouldn't matter to me if a Vol won the award 3 straight years. The Heisman Trophy ceased to be relevant to me when Herschel Walker didn't win in 1980.

Add Peyton Manning to that list!:)

lots of teams have to lose for Ainge to have a shot.

however, i think he should at least be invited to the ceremony, if continues to put the numbers that he has been so far.

Hey LG - do you think Leak is upset that Tebow is creepingin on his turf? I know he has been a key factor in games but you can't tell me that leak doesn't feel a little underappreciated at this point?

I think it bothers him at some level. But I think he also realizes that it is because Tebow has the ability to, and is willing to, run the ball at the defensive line and take a hit. And Leak's numbers, while acceptable, haven't resulted in lighting up the scoreboard.

I do think that, mindful of this, you will see more passes this weekend at the endzone by Florida from 15-25 yards out. Clearly, in the overall picture, Leak is the starter and mainstay of the team. But when Tebow comes in for about ten plays and scores three touchdowns, while Leak is out there being a field general for the bulk of the time, Leak has to realize its because he is not personally punching the ball into the endzone.

Can Auburn take advantage of maybe Leak being overanxious to throw deep to prove himself? Maybe.

Maybe, but the numbers are worth him currently being mentioned with Leak and Quinn.

Leak also is not Heisman material this year.

Ok then... Ainge can just be mentioned with Quinn.

Seriously though, both Leak and Ainge are putting up great numbers vs mostly quality oppenents. OSU Smith is front runner but he trips up vs Michigin watch others Heisman stock go up.

He played crappy against Penn State. Yet after the game, ESPN said he cemented his status as the Heisman frontrunner. Whatever. They probably already engraved his name on the trophy. They had to remove Brady Quinn's first.
