It's no surprise that two of the leading candidates for the 2020 Heisman Trophy, Lawrence and Justin Fields, are also the first- and second-team selections, respectively.

Lawrence was excellent yet again in 2019, throwing for 3,665 yards, 36 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 65.8 percent of his passes. Fields was a Heisman finalist in 2019 after throwing for 3,273 yards, 41 touchdowns and just three interceptions while completing 67.2 percent of his passes.

He also rushed for 484 yards and another 10 scores.

Speaking of rushing, Hubbard led the FBS with 2,094 yards on the ground, while his 21 rushing touchdowns tied him for third in the nation. Add him to the shortlist of Heisman candidates.

Chase led the nation in both receiving yards (1,780) and receiving scores (20) last season, while his 84 receptions ranked 17th. Losing Heisman-winning quarterback and top overall draft pick Joe Burrow may make replicating that production difficult, but there's little doubt that Chase is one of the most talented receivers in college football. 

On the defensive side, Stingley's six interceptions tied him for fifth in the country, while Parsons posted an impressive 109 tackles as a sophomore for Penn State.
