Alabama has produced two Heisman winners: Mark Ingram, Jr. and Derrick Henry.
Mark Ingram, Jr. was a running back who won in 2009 and Derrick Henry is a running back who won in 2015.
It is amazing that it took Alabama 74 years to win a Heisman for such a successful program in wins (6th), winning percentage (6th), and National Championships (4th).

Bart Starr - 1952–55 - Green Bay Packers: 1956–71
