Alabama RB: Derrick Henry (339 attempts, 1,986 rushing yards, 23 TDs)
Stanford RB: Christian McCaffrey (3,276 all-purpose yards, 13 TDs)
Clemson QB: Deshaun Watson (287-413 completions/attempts, 3,512 passing yards, 41 total TDs, 11 interceptions)
All three are very deserving, and are both great players and people. But, someone's gotta win it and here's who I'd give it to.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Who I'd give to: Alabama running back Derrick Henry. You can make very valid arguments for all three of these Heisman candidates, but I think that Bama running back Derrick Henry has played the best in their biggest games, and there hasn't been one game where a defense has been able to just shut him down, and in a physical conference like the SEC, that's pretty impressive. He has also not only been able to put up great stats, he's also helped lead his team to a 12-1 record and the SEC championship along with a berth in the CFB Playoff. Stanford RB Christian McCaffrey has great stats but his team's success is less than Henry's, and Clemson QB Deshaun Watson's team has had great success, and his numbers are very good, but his numbers at the QB position aren't as eye-popping as Henry's numbers at the RB position, and I don't think you can make that same argument for any other Heisman candidate this year except Derrick Henry.

So that's my case for my pick for this year's Heisman trophy, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of these three Heisman candidates.
