BREAKING News :The last two receivers to win the Heisman Trophy Award also won the Super Bowl….
In a remarkable intersection of college and professional football excellence, the last two wide receivers to win the prestigious Heisman Trophy have also gone on to capture Super Bowl titles — a rare feat in the modern NFL era.
DeVonta Smith, who won the Heisman in 2020 as a standout at Alabama, played a key role in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl LVII victory. His route-running and clutch performances helped solidify his status as a rising NFL star. More recently, 2023 Heisman winner Marvin Harrison Jr. translated his dominant collegiate career at Ohio State into immediate NFL impact, playing a critical part in the San Francisco 49ers’ Super Bowl LVIII triumph.
This rare trend underscores a shift in the value of elite wide receivers not just in college football but at the highest professional level. Traditionally dominated by quarterbacks and running backs, the Heisman Trophy has only been awarded to four receivers in history. That two of them have since become Super Bowl champions reflects both their individual talent and the growing importance of elite receiving talent in today’s pass-heavy game.
Football fans are now wondering: could the next Heisman-winning receiver continue this winning streak?
