Cardinals RB Eli Penny thinks younger brother was snubbed for Heisman
Dec 7, 2017 Josh Weinfuss ESPN Staff Writer
PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. -- Talk about brotherly love.
When Arizona Cardinals running back Eli Penny was told that his younger brother, San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny, wasn't among the three finalists for the Heisman Trophy -- which will be awarded Saturday night -- despite leading the Football Bowl Subdivision in rushing and yards from scrimmage, Eli was incredulous.
"Oh, wow," he told ESPN. "That's crazy."
Rashaad turned in one of the most -- if not the most -- impressive seasons in college football this season.
The senior led the country with 2,027 rushing yards and 2,698 all-purpose yards, and was first or second in six individual categories. Yet it wasn't enough for Heisman voters, who selected Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson and Stanford running back Bryce Love to attend the ceremony.
Eli had no doubt in his mind that Rashaad was snubbed.
