Unexpected Contenders: Which NFL Draft Favorites Are Poised to Snatch the Heisman Trophy?
Isn’t it something how a shiny bronze statue—the Heisman Trophy—can cast such a long shadow over a college football season? Teams eyeing the 2026 NFL Draft are already sizing up a quarterback crop that could flip the script for struggling franchises like the Browns, Jets, and Saints. This year, the pressure isn’t just about snagging college glory but carving out a spotlight that says, “Hey, I’m the next big thing.” Leading this parade is Texas’s Arch Manning, a name that carries as much weight as the trophy itself. Alongside him, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier and Clemson’s Cade Klubnik are jockeying for attention—and early Heisman odds—while the real prize waits quietly in the wings: the coveted No. 1 overall pick in the draft. So as these young signal-callers navigate a path lined with expectation and hype, the question lingers—will the allure of college stardom translate into NFL greatness, or is the Heisman just a glittering detour on the road to football immortality?
