In the history of the NCAA only 3 Canadians have received first place votes for the Heisman trophy. Name any or all of them.

ANSWER:

1. Tony Mandarich(correctly answered by onomatopoeia). That was 1988, and I think he received the most first place votes of any Canadian ever.

2. Rueben Mayes received a first place vote in 1984.

3. Tim Biakabutuka. received a first place vote in 1995.

Who am I?

As a Senior in University, I was named Ivy League Player of the Year, leading my team to a 10-0 record.

I hold the NFL records for most consecutive games with 400+ passing yards, most different NFL teams to have started a game at Quarterback, and most career passing yards and passing touchdowns among NFL quarterbacks without a postseason appearance.

In my 17 year NFL career, I started ten or more games in eight different seasons for five different teams, and I had two consecutive seasons with no pass attempts, one each for two different teams.

I was named NFL Rookie of the Year. My son was named co-Rookie of the Year in a different North American team sport.

Don’t know about the dad, pretty sure the son is Grant Hill who shared Co ROY with Jason Kidd. I do remember Grant came from an affluent family, both of his parents being business executives, which allowed him the luxury to stay at Duke for four years (another reason to hate those Dukies).

Grant Hill was the NBA Co-Rookie of the Year for the 1994-95 season, (shared with Jason Kidd). The information you provided will assist someone else in answering this question correctly.

Two former NBA players, both with multiple NBA Championship rings, were also EuroLeague Champions and Olympic Gold medalists.

Name either or both.
