Ranking every Heisman Trophy winner currently in the NFL: Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson headline

Lamar Jackson won the 2019 MVP and is the only QB with a pair of1,000-yard rushing seasons

Lamar Jackson was the fifth quarterback of five taken in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Outgoing Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome made Jackson his final first-round selection of his illustrious front-office career. Two years after being taken No. 32 overall, Jackson went on to win NFL MVP. He is one of the best young stars in the NFL game today, making Baltimore a threat.

Jackson has improved as a passer each year out of Louisville. However, he is not likely to have a season as dynamic as he did in his sophomore campaign in 2019. While he has helped the Ravens reach the AFC playoffs all three years in the NFL, he must win a playoff game over the Titans this weekend to avoid falling to 0-3 in his postseason career. That will be a big talking point for 2021.

Henry is a back-to-back rushing Triple Crown winner

When Derrick Henry won the 2015 Heisman at Alabama, he sort of did it coming out of nowhere. He was seen as the third-best running back in the SEC entering that season. Five NFL seasons later, Henry is on the path towards Canton enshrinement. His last 2.5 years have taken the NFL NFK by storm. He just rushed for 2,000 yards in a season, as the Titans won the AFC South. For the second straight year, Henry led all NFL running backs in carries, yards and touchdowns.

There is no other running back in the league like Henry. The bonafide, bell-cow back is doing things for the same professional organization that gave us Earl Campbell and Eddie George before, joining Chris Johnson in the exclusive 2,000-yard rushing club. If Henry has three more Pro Bowl-caliber seasons, he may end up being a first-ball Pro Football Hall of Famer after he retires.
