Heisman Heroes :: Tim Brown
From humble football roots, Tim Brown became one of the greatest players ever in college and pro football... Brown made Fighting Irish football hip again, and his brilliance in 1986-87 helped attract premier recruits such as Raghib "Rocket" Ismail, Ricky Watters, Todd Lyght, Chris Zorich, and a plethora of others, into the fold during Holtz's halcyon years from 1988-93, when the Irish were 64-9-1 with one national title and two debatable No. 2 finishes.

No doubt Brown was one of the best players in Irish history. Not only was he a Heisman trophy winner, but as of right now, he still owns the school record for most all-purpose yards in a single season (1,937). When he won the Heisman in 1987, he snapped a 27-year winless streak for the award, the longest such run between Heisman winners ever at Notre Dame. Oh, and I hear he was a pretty good NFL player, too...
