2022 Heisman Watch: Which Players Made Biggest Statement in Week 1?
By Ben Heisler
There's still one Top 25 game left on the schedule for Week 1 when Clemson faces Georgia Tech in Atlanta this evening, but plenty of 2022 Heisman Trophy hopefuls all made major statements to kick off their seasons.
One of the most notable move came at the top of the list, where Alabama quarterback and reigning Heisman winner Bryce Young leap-frogged consensus preseason favorite C.J. Stroud of Ohio State heading into Week 2.
Despite Young moving to the current consensus favorite, there were two other players who made far more significant moves up the board.
