Heisman Trivia
This one has started going around social media, so you may have seen it.
If, as expected, Joe Burrow wins the Heisman and Lamar Jackson wins the NFL MVP, then it will be the third time that the Heisman winner is older than the MVP. What years did it happen and who were the players? Hint: One of these is in the Super Bowl era and much easier to guess. One is from the pre Super Bowl era and I had not heard of the guy who won the Heisman that year. |

Well the Super Bowl era is clearly Weinke as the Heisman winner. Had to look up Marshall Faulk as MVP

the pre-Superbowl could be right after the WW2 when soldiers were going to college after their service time...
