The equivalent to the Heisman Award for 1-AA football players is the Walter Payton Award. Here's how I would rank the top finalists for the award.

1. Bruce Eugene QB Grambling 3,275 yards 40 TDs
2. Joe Rubin RB Portland State 1,702 yards 17 TDs
3. Erik Meyer QB Eastern Washington 3,482 yards 25 TDs
4. Nick Hartigan RB Brown 1,498 yards 18 TD
5. Ricky Santos QB New Hampshire 2,846 yards 33 TDs
