  • Outland Trophy, Which Is More Or Less the Lineman’S Heisman
    THE COFFIN CORNER, Vol. 19, No. 6 (1997) THE OUTLANDERS About this time of year, when a sportswriter wants to point out the obvious, he usually writes a column showing that Heisman Trophy winners are sometimes unsuccessful as pros. Then he’ll get a spate of disagreeable letters continuing the assault on the obvious noting that the Heisman is not awarded to the “best pro prospect.” Or that some great college backs are just too small to make good pros (Doak Walker, take note). Or that a great college back may be great because of his versatility whereas the pros want specialists (Doak Walker, take note again). Or that injuries were a factor in a star’s failure to shine. Or that the writer is an idiot anyway. I’ve never seen the same pro and con arguments advanced re-the Outland Trophy, which is more or less the Lineman’s Heisman. I’m sure it’s just part of the sportsworld’s neverending attempt to render linemen faceless, anonymous, and inconsequential. In reality, of course, linemen are the most important men on the field (not counting the back judge when your team is making a late drive to tie). Teams can win without great runners, receivers, or even great quarterbacks, but you can count the teams with sub-par lines AND winning records on Captain Hook’s bad hand. Here are the Outland winners through last year. Draw your own conclusions. -- BC OUTLAND TROPHY WINNERS YEAR PLAYER SCHOOL POS Draft Rnd ProBowl CAREER 1996 Orlando Pace Ohio State OT 1 - - 1995 Orlando Pace Ohio State OT - - - 1994 Zach Wiegert Nebraska OT 2 - 1995-96 STL 1993
