My Top Ten Heisman Candidates

The Heisman Trophy is one of the most prestigious trophies in all of sports. It boasts winners such as Doak Walker, Roger Staubach, Marcus Allen, and Carson Palmer.

Some of its winners faded out quickly, with players such as Gino Torretta, Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, and Jason White taking home the award.

Who will win the trophy this year? Here are ten players that have a great shot.

Honorable Mentions

There are many different players that could win the Heisman. These guys, however, are very talented but just couldn't crack the list:

Harvey Unga RB BYU, Noel Devine RB West Virginia (pictured), Terrelle Pryor QB Ohio State, and Zac Robinson QB Oklahoma State.

Let's get to the top ten.

10. Darryl Clark/Evan Royster

Hey, I'm a Nittany Lion. I've got to give my guys some love here, and I couldn't put one on the list but not the other.

I could see one of them in the running, but they're longshots to win it all.

9. DeMarco Murray

Murray's got the talent to win the award, but he just needs to stay healthy. If he does that, he has a good chance.

8. Dez Bryant

Bryant is a special talent, however, WR's rarely win the award. I can't put him any higher than this.

7. Kendall Hunter

He doesn't get a whole lot of attention, but Hunter could definitely do it.

6. Colt McCoy

I could easily see McCoy taking home the award.

So, why is he at number six?

I just have a hunch that he won't quite get there.

5. C.J. Spiller

With James Davis drafted by the Browns, Spiller will get all the carries at Clemson.

4. Sam Bradford

Ah, the defending winner.

Bradford could join Archie Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winner.

3. Jonathan Dwyer

He's the best player at Georgia Tech since Calvin Johnson.

He has a chance to do something Johnson didn't, which is win a Heisman.

2. Jahvid Best

Does Jahvid Best have the "best" chance at winning the Heisman? Not quite, he's close though.

Could he do something that former Cal RB Marshawn Lynch couldn't do? Win a Heisman? Maybe, but one thing is for sure, he's certainly got the talent to do so.

1. Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow, the 2007 Heisman trophy winner, is my pick as the Heisman winner in 2009.

I like seeing a new winner every season, so it's hard for me to put him here.

However, I have to.

Tebow's one of the most phenomenal college quarterbacks I have ever seen play. I don't know how well he transitions to the NFL, but I do know that he's a heck of a college QB.

That's why I chose him as my '09 Heisman winner.
