As the ninth overall pick in the MLB draft, Murray has already made clear his plans to play professional baseball rather than football.

Of course, he won't be the first Heisman Trophy winner to play pro baseball; he won't even the best former Heisman Trophy winner to play baseball.

I think there's sometimes a bias in favor of Heisman candidates playing in their last year. This Tua guy is coming back next year, so I'll bet a few voters may be leaning towards Murray on that basis alone.

This year's Heisman vote may bring back memories of 1982, when we saw probably the best group of Heisman finalists in my lifetime. Herschel Walker won the trophy, beating out John Elway and Eric Dickerson.

That would be Bo Jackson.
