A fixture on ABC and ESPN presentations of college football, fans are well aware of the Nissan “Heisman House” commercials.

The latest one just might be one of their best.

Take a look:

Starring for the Oklahoma Sooners after transferring from Texas A&M, 2018 Heisman winner Kyler Murray was also selected in the first round of the 2018 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft by the Oakland Athletics.

One of just a handful of guys to play in both the NFL and Major League Baseball, Bo Jackson won the 1985 Heisman as a member of the Auburn Tigers. Electing to play professional baseball after a pre-draft issue with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cost him the remainder of his collegiate eligibility, Jackson hit 141 home runs over the course of eight MLB seasons.

The 2007 winner, Tim Tebow played three seasons in the NFL following his time in Gainesville. In addition to his role as an analyst on the SEC Network, he signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets in September 2016. Playing for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets in July 2019, Tebow suffered a finger injury that cost him the remainder of the season.
