No wide receiver has won a Heisman since Desmond Howard in 1991. That’s almost 20 years! I’ve been browsing through some 2008 Heisman candidate lists from websites like Scout, and quite a few of them have Jeremy Maclin on the watch list.

Last year Jeremy Maclin was second in the nation in all-purpose yards, averaging 209 yards per game. It is very likely that he will continue his reign of terror since he has another Heisman candidate in Chase Daniel throwing him the ball. In order for Maclin to win the Heisman, he needs to put up gawdy numbers, help Missouri get to the National Championship game and have a Heisman “moment”. It will be hard for him to win it as long as Chase is at QB, because he will garner a lot of the attention. It will really be that spectacular “moment” that Maclin needs to seal the deal.

I think it’s possible, but not likely. Don’t forget Jeremy Maclin is only a sophomore too, and we didn’t see a sophomore win a Heisman until last year with Tim Tebow.
