Yes. He won the Heisman in 1974 and 1975.
I believe there have been four winners since the NFL-AFL merger. Barry Sanders was the last to win both. He won the Heisman in 1988 and shared the NFL MVP with Brett Favre in 1997. Marcus Allen won the Heisman in 1981 and the MVP in 1985. Earl Campbell won the Heisman in 1977 and the MVP in 1979. Finally, OJ Simpson won the Heisman in 1967 and the NFL MVP in 1973. Don't forget Paul Hornung -- the first to do it.
Reginald Bush II won the 2005 Heisman Trophy, but due to theft, he got it taken away. Some say, the runner-up, Vince Young, should take it, and some say that the University of Southern California should keep their trophy, and that Reggie's heisman should just be taken away.
1974 and 1975
