I just did what you suggested, and I am more confused now.

In addition to the players you have listed above, Doc Blanchard ('45), Alan Ameche ('54), & Steve Owens ('69) are listed as FB, which I assume means fullback.

I then looked up 'fullback' in Ask.com, and found that the fullback position is not often recognized as a running back any longer.

In recent years the position has evolved to be more a blocker than a runner, with occasional pass-catching duties. The remaining prominent fullbacks in the http://www.answers.com/topic/national-football-league are typically employed for breaking through tight defensive alignments, often in short-yardage situations. As a result, fullbacks are typically less known for speed and agility than for muscularity and the ability to avoid being tackled by knocking down defenders.

Taking all this into consideration then....there would be a total of eight players on the above list....7 offensive, and 1 defensive!...Go figure!

A trophy is awarded as a prize to symbolise victory or success. Trophies are particularly used in sporting events.

Through the 2008 season, no.

In the Amateur Era: Men's Singles- William Renshaw 7 times. Women's Singles- Helen Wills Moody 8 times.

In the Open Era: Men's Singles- Pete Sampras 7 times. Women's Singles- Martina Navratilova 9 times.

So Martina Navratilova tops the list of most times winners.

Eli Manning finished 3rd in Heisman Trophy voting behind Jason White of Oklahoma and Larry Fitzgerald of Pittsburgh.

Notre Dame, Ohio State, and USC each won 7 Heisman Trophies. However, because of controversy surrounding Reggie Bush, the 2005 winner from USC, he forfeited the award and it was left vacant, so USC now only have 6.
