I think the award is a joke. Its to go to the most outstanding college football player. I think only one time has a player won it that wasn't a QB, RB, or WR. Charles Woodson won it as a cornerback, but he also returned kicks and played WR some. So if you are blessed with being able to throw a football or have an outstanding offensive line to block for you, an athlete's chances of winning are increased by a bunch. Once in awhile they throw in a cornerback or linebacker in the final three to make it look unbiased. Its like they want to say "see anyone can win the award", but that is only if you are a QB,RB, or once in a blue moon a WR.
