I love college football, fun list!

One question...what's the story on #13? His rookie card is listed as 1948 Leaf, but he won the Heisman in 1949?

I wish I knew the story behind it. I know they had a few players in that set who were still in college (Walker, Tripucka, Nomellini, & Bednarik to name a few others) so maybe he was just selected as one of them.
