PLAYERS:
Johnny Manziel
Johnny Manziel has already made a name for himself—one of historic proportions—after following up a whirlwind, record-breaking, season for Texas A&M by becoming the first-ever freshman to win the coveted Heisman Trophy. But, that appears to already be yesterday’s news as some are already looking towards the next potential ‘Johnny Heisman’…well, at least they’re having the conversation about who he might be.

Texas A&M freshman Johnny Manziel is the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner. He’s the first freshman to win the award. His numbers were better than Cam Newton’s when Newton won the award, whose numbers were better than Tim Tebow’s when he won. It really shouldn’t have been as close as it was.

Manziel makes history with Heisman win
No one knows exactly what winning the Heisman Trophy requires. We do have an idea of what you can't do.

Expectations will be high for Manziel's encore
NEW YORK (AP) -- Heisman Trophy history suggests it will never get better for Johnny Manziel than it did this season. In the 78-year history of the Heisman, only one player has one more than one: Ohio State's Archie Griffin in 1974 and 75.
But even if another Heisman is not in Johnny Football's his future, there's still plenty left for Johnny Football and Texas A&...
