Once again, a running back is not headed to New York City as a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.

With three quarterbacks and a defensive end announced as finalists, it is assured that a running back will miss out on the trophy for a fourth consecutive season. The last running back to win the award was Alabama’s Derrick Henry in 2015. Before that, you have to go back six years to Mark Ingram in 2009 to find the next running back winner.

This season, Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor was a big candidate for the award after back-to-back 1,900-yard seasons to start his career. That included a 2,000-yard season in 2018.

Though Taylor fell short of 2,000 rushing yards, he once again eclipsed the 1,900-yard mark. Add in a career-high receiving number and Taylor did post 2,000 yards from scrimmage on the year with a career-high 26 total touchdowns. Unfortunately, it still wasn’t enough to make him a finalist for the award.

On Friday, Taylor was asked about the perceived snub for the award. Taylor admitted he wasn’t surprised by not being a finalist for the Heisman, but he also admitted he would vote for the guys that are finalists for the award.

Jeff Potrykus with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel shared Taylor’s comments:

The players that are up for the award are LSU QB Joe Burrow, Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts, Ohio State QB Justin Fields, and Ohio State DE Chase Young. Those players are deserving of being finalists. However, it’s hard not to feel like Taylor should also be in New York for the award ceremony.
