In 2005, Reggie Bush won the Heisman Trophy. Vince Young was the runner up. But Bush was made to return the trophy because he had accepted gifts from his agent which was not allowed.

Papa Archie was a star in Drew, Mississippi (he also excelled in baseball) and was an immediate hit at Ole Miss when he became the starting quarterback as a sophomore. He was twice a Heisman Trophy runner up and went on to become the first draft choice of the New Orleans Saints in 1971.
