Re: All-Americans
A similar thing happened to me. I had a starting DT lead the nation in sacks and it earned him second place for the Heisman and he won Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Defensive Lineman of the Year. Yet, it wasn't enough to get him on the First or Second Team All American.
My starting HB led the nation in yards and TDs and did manage to win Running Back of the Year and did make First Team All American, but was never in the Heisman race and was never in the top 10 for Player of the Year. Then he went undrafted.
