The Heisman House is still full, but this week, we welcome two new guests and bid farewell to a pair of visitors.
With Week 9 in the rear view, here’s a look at the current hopefuls residing in Pete’s Heisman House:
5. Kenny Pickett – Senior QB, Pittsburgh

Last week vs. Miami: 39-for-55 passing, 519 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions
When speaking a few NFL area scouts about the QB class. The biggest concern about Kenny Pickett being QB1 was arm strength.
Here’s what I should go back and send them.
