Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska Cornhuskers is first defender named AP College Football Player of the Year - ESPN He is the first defensive player to ever be named AP player of the year.
That award is evidently more legitimate than the Heisman.
How can you win AP player of the year but not the heisman?
I have lost all respect for the heisman.
It's a joke that Suh was fourth place in the Heisman. I thought for sure he would be top two.
