The Heisman Trophy is an annual award, presented to student-athletes in NCAA Division I college football. It was originally established by the Downtown Athletic Club (DAC) in New York City in 1935. It is awarded to those college football players whose performance is accompanied by integrity, diligence, and sportsmanship. This trophy is named after the legendary player and coach John W. Heisman and the winner is voted for by fans, sports journalists, and past winners. This trophy is awarded by the Heisman Trust and the winners are usually picked in the first round of the NFL draft.
