Troy Davis (born September 14, 1975 in Miami, Florida) is a Canadian Football League running back with the Toronto Argonauts who is best known for being the first running back to rush for over 2,000 yards in back to back seasons of NCAA college football but not win the Heisman Trophy. He lost to both Eddie George in 1995 and Danny Wuerffel in 1996.

[edit] College career

Davis attended Iowa State University, where he set school records for total rushing yards (4,382), total rushing yards in a single season (2,185) and rushing yards in a game (378). He also holds the Iowa State University record for most career rushing touchdowns (36) and is tied for first for most career total touchdowns (38). He became the first running back in NCAA history to gain 2,000 yards in two different seasons.

[edit] Heisman Trophy

Troy Davis finished fifth for the Heisman Trophy in 1995 and narrowly finished second to Danny Wuerffel in 1996. In 1996, Davis won three Heisman regions, but lost badly in the South region.

[edit] Professional career

Davis elected to forgo his senior season of eligibility and declared for the 1997 NFL draft. He was drafted in the 3rd round (62nd overall) by the New Orleans Saints. He played in the NFL for three years before joining the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. During the 2005 CFL season, Davis was traded to the Edmonton Eskimos in exchange for a package headlined by wide receiver Brock Ralph, defensive back Tay Cody, and a first-round pick in that year's draft. Davis played a key role in helping the Eskimos win the 93rd Grey Cup that year. On February 23, 2007, the Eskimos released Davis. He was later signed to the Toronto Argonauts' practice roster on September 25, 2007. Davis was initially released by the Argonauts on October 17, 2007, but rejoined their practice roster on October 23, 2007.
