McLaughlin Walter Payton Finalist

<< < (2/2)

YsuPride:
At least Jaleel finished 7th.  not too bad.   if we had a better record and made the playoffs maybe he could have been invited to the award presentation.  Any Thoughts on that?

Double ET:
I think the award is given to the best player for this season and not the player with the best career achievement.

Based on that criterion, his is clearly not the best player for this season and there are others have either better stats or impact on their respective programs.
That is my thought on this.

Wick250:
Somebody wins the Payton Award every year, but there is only one all-time NCAA rushing leader. With the modern emphasis upon throwing the ball all over the place, it is entirely possible that Jaleel's record will not be broken for a long, long time. As the years pass, having YSU associated with that record is going to be a great source of pride.
