In this piece by ESPN.com’s Ted Miller, Cal’s Jahvid Best–one of the fastest football players in the country–says he would take the Pac-10 title over the Heisman.
Of course, in Best’s case, the two are not mutually exclusive. I seriously doubt he can win the Heisman without leading his team to the conference crown, unless he rushes for well over 2,000 yards. He’s taking the right approach.
It sounds like he’s finally getting healthy, although he is trying to move up to 205 pounds (he played at 190 last year). Most likely he will have to sacrifice some speed to get there, which may result in fewer highlight-reel runs, though he will be more durable.
