The 20 Best Heisman Trophy Winners Ever | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Ricky Williams was one of the most dynamic runners to ever win the Heisman Trophy. Hailing from the University of Texas, Williams broke the all-time rushing record—which he held for only one season—the year that he was awarded the Heisman Trophy. 

Williams was also awarded the Doak Walker, Jim Brown, Walter Camp and Maxwell awards during his Heisman winning season. In 1998, Williams rushed for 2,327 yards, averaging 6 YPC and scoring 29 touchdowns.

On top of the amazing yardage production, Williams averaged 193.9 yards/game his senior season. Williams can argue his 1998 campaign was one of the best in collegiate history—if not for Barry Sanders’ performance a decade before.
