Other editions of book Winners of the Heisman Trophy by John Devaney

The Heisman Trophy is America's most coveted college football award, presented annually to the year's most outstanding player. In a close look at eleven winners, noted sportswriter John Devaney (who has been a Heisman voter) details the qualities and events that brought fame to these young stars. Action-packed scenes from football fields all over the country are interlaced with personal data about these heroes. What motivated them? Where did they grow up and how did they make the team? What did they do to win the Heisman? Among the profiles are Felix (Doc) Blanchard, Doug Flutie, Doak Walker, Paul Hornung, O.J. Simpson, Roger Staubach, Jim Plunkett, Archie Griffin, Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, and Hershel Walker. Devaney delves into the lives of these determined athletes and gives interesting sidelights on each one. The book is enhanced with photos and an index.
