Smitty Johnson for Heisman in 2017?

[cardkilla_rivals379685]

Call me crazy but if Johnson has games like the one he had against UL and the Cats become a major factor in the SEC next year, could Johnson be a darkhorse candidate for the Heisman?

I mean crazier things have happened than that right? Why not? Johnson just seems like a natural born winner in my book and his previous coaches have talked about how competitive he is and just a calming force despite the pressure around the team.

I see your SJ heisman campaign, and will raise you a Benny, Boom, and SJ campaign...

A battle tested QB with ground and air play making ability, the best rb duo in the conference (maybe country), stout OL, a very nice TE, and big athletic wrs...

forget the "air raid", it's going to be a score board raid via air and land from all angles...

I was amazed at how much Stephen improved from week to week this year so given the extra bowl practice, spring camp, fall camp, who knows how good he can be come Sep next year? He doesn't have the biggest arm by any stretch but he is some physical gifts, great natural instincts for the position, moxie and he plays great under pressure - so who knows?

America would fall in love with his story of overcoming tourette's, etc.

People are saying no, but noone saw Lamar coming either. Im not saying theres a decent chance, but its not impossible.

I dont see Johnson winning the heisman. I do see him throwing for 3000 yards and rushing for 400. Snell the guy who will get the run if we win 9 or 10 games the next few years.

 

[cardkilla_rivals379685]

I don't expect it to happen but it's nice to think about. It would mean UK is having a great season. Lamar will be tough to beat next year. Although I believe the Cards won't be quite as good.

I suggest we allow Mr. Johnson continue to develop and pump the brakes on expectations. Let's breathe and enjoy the ride of where the program takes in the future.

Where's Jackson on this list? He has to be among the favorites?

Jackson will be the favorite to repeat and projected overall #1 pick.

Johnson will become a true threat and will get a lot of attention next year. He's gonna be very good!
