Every college football player, no matter what conference they play in and regardless of the position they play, all have the same individual goal at the end of the season, to win the Heisman.

There are a ton of great awards but all fall short of the prestige of the Heisman Trophy. In short, the award is given to the best player in college football. And while any positional player can win it, we’ve noticed that quarterbacks are picking up the hardware more times than not, especially over the past few years.

With another player set to join a long list of greats that have etched their names into the side of the award, we’ve decided to take a look back at some of the best games of the past 25 Heisman Trophy winners.

This list isn’t focused on the significance of the game but more so on how great that particular Heisman Trophy winner played on that day. We had a bunch of game tape and statistics to break down but after reviewing all of it closely, we believe we’ve found the best game of every Heisman winner on this list.
