College football writer Chase Goodbread kicked off his 17 for '17 series on NFL.com's College Football 24/7. He kicked it off with his top 17 candidates for the 2017 Heisman Trophy.
17. Derwin James, S, Florida State
16. Jalen Hurts, QB, Florida State
15. Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
14. Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon
13. Deondre Francois, QB, Florida State
12. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia
11. Mason Randolph, QB, Oklahoma State
10. Jake Browning, QB, Washington
9. Bo Scarbrough, RB, Alabama
8. J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State
7. Luke Falk, QB, Washington State
6. Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
5. Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
4. Derrius Guice, RB, LSU
3. Sam Darnold, QB, USC
2. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville
1. Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma
I wonder if Baker Mayfield is still the top candidate with Wednesday's news that Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops is stepping away from the game.
My vote, if I had one, is for Derwin James. He's great but I want to see a defensive player win this award again. It took returns and offensive touches for Charles Woodson to take home the Heisman 20 years ago. James just takes apart offenses.
Everyone knows that the Heisman's an offensive award so my early money's on Saquon Barkley taking it home.
Chase Goodbread contributes some interesting topics, lists and thoughts with his series. So far this college offseason he's brought readers the fastest players, the top players that stayed in college, and impact transfers. He'll have more throughout the summer.
