Manziel is the favorite to win college football's most famous award when it is presented Saturday night in New York. He would be the first freshman to win the Heisman and the first Texas A&M player since halfback John David Crow won the school's only Heisman in 1957.
Te'o is trying to become the first defense-only player to win a Heisman and the eighth player from Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish have had seven Heisman winners, tied for the most, but none since Tim Brown in 1987.
Klein would be the first player from Kansas State to win the Heisman.
Here's a look at how the three finalists stack up.
Johnny Football leads in one stat that he and Teo (also an incredible FB athelete) share, incredible "Game Determining Improvisations".
After watching highlight reels of the candidates, it is obvious who is heads and shoulders above the rest, Johnny "Football" Manziel.
