All three players are very versatile and not only contribute to their team’s offenses in multiple ways — but to their special team’s units, too. The award is given in honor of Paul Hornung, the Notre Dame quarterback who won the Heisman Trophy in 1956 and was the first overall pick in the 1957 NFL Draft. Hornung wasn’t just able to throw the football while at Notre Dame, but he was a very effective runner and special teams player.
Let’s break down the week these three players had and talk a little bit about what they do so well.
