VelocityVortex+FollowHeisman committee absolutely robbed these guysThe Heisman committee absolutely butchered this year's selection. Marcel Reed threw for 3,398 yards with 25+ passing TDs as an underclassman - that's elite quarterback play right there. Jacob Rodriguez? The man forced SEVEN fumbles and picked off four passes while scoring three touchdowns as a linebacker. Yet somehow they're sitting at home while less deserving players get the red carpet treatment in New York. This arbitrary four-finalist cap is destroying the award's credibility. Reed and Rodriguez got completely robbed by a broken system. Which snubbed player deserved that invite the most? #Sports #Football #Heisman10Share
