Defensive Heisman Winners

[gutsdabeast]

I have a Junior DE who had 17 sacks, 6 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, & 1 defensive TD.

My questions are. Is there any way to even get a defensive player nominated for a Heisman? If so, can I get some advice on doing it? I've never even seen a defensive player considered for the award in any iteration of next gen NCAA.

Is this a glitch? I mean I understand you have to be a special defender to be nominated for the trophy in real life, but this sucks that only RBs & QBs win this award.

BTW I play on Heisman with custom sliders. I don't wish to start nano blitzing to get unbelievably unrealistic numbers. I just need to know if it's even possible to accomplish this feat.

Try playing him at TE as well, ala Charles Woodson who played CB/WR/Return Specialist and won the Heisman.

That's a good idea. But I was more thinking Suh at Nebraska. But that would be asking too much because the game doesn't register hurries as a stat.

My LB won a Heisman, but he had ungodly sack totals.

Getting a defensive player to win is like getting a QB to win it twice its almost impossible.

a true, defensive only player is not gonna win it.
ya need a specialist, like a returner or a lineman to get about 50 TD's
in short yard goal line situations to win it all

I don't want to do it unrealistically. I just wanted to see if it was possible with great numbers. Not ungodly numbers. EA needs to put more emphasis on some defensive stats. Like hurries & deflections. They are as important to defenders as sacks, tackles, & interceptions.

Well let's see, in 70+ Heismans, there's been 1 defensive winner, and he played some offense.

So if they're shooting for realism, then no defender should win it.
