2016 Heisman Trophy Finalists: 5 Players who should have been invited to NYC

The Heisman Trophy finalists were all deserving, but who else could have gotten an invite to New York City?

The official announcement for the Heisman Trophy finalists has been revealed. For the most part, the voters did a good job selecting the appropriate finalists, but like every year, there were a few deserving candidates who didn’t get an invite.

Louisville’s Lamar Jackson headlined the list of Heisman Trophy finalists. After all, he has been the clear frontrunner all season. Rival quarterback Deshaun Watson out of Clemson was also named a finalist, as was Michigan’s star athlete Jabrill Peppers and two Oklahoma Sooners in Dede Westbrook and Baker Mayfield. The fact that two players on the same team were selected as finalists shows what kind of year Oklahoma’s offense had.

All of these players put up terrific numbers this season for some fantastic teams. However, here are a handful of guys who should have at least gone to New York City after the seasons that they had, even if they weren’t going to win the award.
