I decided to take a quick break from my finals preparation and look up some statistics. What I found was kind of interesting. You be the judge:
| Charles Woodson 1997 | vs. | Eric Berry 2008 |
| 8 | Interceptions | 7 |
| 7 | INT Return Yards | 265 |
| 0 | INT TDs | 2 |
| 27 | Solo tackles | 72 |
| 5 | Tackles for Loss | 8.5 |
| 1 | Sacks | 3 |
| 9 | Passes Defenced | 6 |
| 0 | Forced Fumbles | 0 |
| 0 | Fumble Recoveries | 1 |
I realize that Berry is a Safety and Woodson is a Cornerback, but they’re in the same category for the Thorpe Award so I feel they’re comparable enough.
Also, Woodson did return punts and averaged about 8 yards per return and had a TD. He also had 12 receptions and 3 TDs on offense. Both had a negligible number of rushing yards.
I hate the Heisman.
