Not for nothing, but Sanders made his record in 11 games. I think Jeanty is a worthy heir, by the way. But he'll set the record in either 13 or 14 games. #pokesfansholdontoanythingwithinourgrasp.
Another great breakdown of the situation, Mark (it’s why we love The Dope!). While Ashton Jaunty was indeed an indisputable RB sensation this year…and, if the Heisman goes to the best football player in the country…then a two-way player of the highest caliber should probably trump Jaunty’s offensive production. Not since Chuck Bednarik retired after the 1962 NFL season (and Deion Sanders did it—for one full game—as a Cowboy) has organized football seen the likes of a 60-minute two-way player such as Travis Hunter demonstrated in his Heisman season. It is certain that Jaunty will still retain all his potential (barring injury) for an illustrious NFL career.

Great point. Barry Sanders was so crazy good.

Outstanding piece of writing. Nicely done.
