Ann Arbor, Mich. | Nov. 23, 1991
Desmond Howard's 93-yard punt return for a touchdown against Ohio State in 1991. When Howard reached the end zone, he struck a Heisman pose. Innocent prank? Yes, but it also signaled a new era in the marketing of the sport's top individual award. Like politics, the Heisman became all about TV exposure---ESPN

I participate in the countdown to showcase my favorite all-time players and/or players currently on my favorite team. My thoughts on the upcoming NCAA title don't determine my participation.

#20 RB, HB, TE Billy Cannon - LSU - (1957-1959)

1959 Heisman Trophy
1959 TSN Player of the Year
1959 UPI Player of the Year
1958 TSN Player of the Year
1958 UPI Player of the Year

The only player in LSU’s storied football history to have his number retired, He received unanimous First Team All-America honors and placed third in Heisman voting in 1958 en route to earning consensus First Team All-America laurels and winning both the Heisman and the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award the following season. Drafted in the first round of the 1960 AFL Draft, he played 11 professional seasons with the Houston Oilers, Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs. He returned to school during each off-season to further his education, eventually receiving his D.D.S. from the Tennessee School of Dentistry in 1969 and a Master’s in Oral Biology from Loyola (Ill.) in 1971.

Loose Cannon on the “Halloween Run”
Baton Rouge, La. - Oct. 31, 1959

The Tigers' winning streak reached 19 games in 1959, capped by the most famous play [above] in LSU history. Cannon dodged seven tacklers for an 89-yard touchdown run, which gave LSU a 7-3 victory, became immortalized as the "Halloween Run" and probably clinched his Heisman Trophy, the only one ever won by an LSU player. "Every Halloween before the LSU game, they played it over and over. I wonder if they still do that?
The "Halloween Run" marked the high-water mark for LSU football for 45 years. The next week, the Tigers lost 14-13 to Tennessee and fell from No. 1 in the rankings. They would not return to the top spot in the polls until 2007.

The rowdy Cannon............who had many brushes with the law throughout his college days had one final "big one" in 1983. Cannon, then 45, pleaded guilty to participating in a counterfeiting scam that ranks among the biggest ever uncovered in the U.S.—at least $6 million in $100 bills. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison, but was released after 3 years. He currently works as the resident dentist at the maximum security Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, La.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find much for him, but he's one of ND's greatest defensive backs.
