There are many talented college quarterbacks who have been honored with the Heisman Memorial Trophy, most of them make it to the NFL and play for some franchise hoping to give that pro team the same glory they gave to their college football team.
The Heisman Memorial Trophy is awarded near the end of the college football season to the best player of the season within the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. The first time the trophy was awarded was in 1935 to Jay Berwanger.
But the truth is, few Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks have won a Super Bowl in the NFL since playing college football is a very different thing than playing pro football in the National Football League.
Quarterbacks won a Heisman Trophy and a Super Bowl ring
When a quarterback wins a Heisman Trophy and an NFL title, Super Bowl, it is called a Double Crown, since it is something uncommon in football. But there are plenty of players, who aren’t quarterbacks, who have won Heisman and Super Bowl rings as well.
