Why the honors trail matters

The fast read on the thing that makes this player more than a generic stat line.

The useful clue on this card is not just the Heisman rank, but the broader honors spine. Antwan Raymond already has 1 loaded recognition item, which helps distinguish a player who is merely productive from one who is already earning selector-level validation.
