again in 2016. Joshua Dobbs is extremely intelligent and possesses all the physical traits to make himself a serious Heisman contender. Maybe, just maybe, 2015 was the full season Dobbs needed to poise himself for the breakout season we all thought was coming this year. He has shown flashes of brilliance this year. In the Florida game, Dobbs wasn’t able to get it done through the air, but rushed for

138 yards on 18 attempts

. He even scored a receiving touchdown. In the game against Georgia, he posted his only

300 yard passing game and even contributed 118 yards on the ground, totaling 5 touchdowns

on the day.

If Dobbs can improve on his accuracy, which currently stands at 58.5 percent, he has all the physical tools and weapons around him to put together a 2016 Heisman campaign.
