**Our THREE Heisman Trophy Winners**
Los Angeles, California – Netflix has unveiled a powerful new documentary titled *Our THREE Heisman Trophy Winners*, shining a spotlight on the rich legacy of Michigan Wolverines football and the extraordinary accomplishments of its three Heisman Trophy recipients: Tom Harmon, Desmond Howard, and Charles Woodson.
Through archival footage, interviews, and expert commentary, the documentary delves into each player’s unique journey and the indelible mark they left on college football history.
The film begins with Tom Harmon, the Wolverines’ first Heisman winner, who took home the honor in 1940.
Harmon was the epitome of a football hero in the early days of the sport, a dynamic halfback known for his versatility, athleticism, and leadership. He dazzled fans with his ability to run, pass, punt, and return kicks—all while serving as a symbol of excellence during a challenging era in American history.
The documentary portrays Harmon not just as a football icon, but also as a patriot, noting his service as a pilot in World War II shortly after his college career.
Fast forward to 1991, and the spotlight falls on Desmond Howard, a wide receiver and return specialist whose explosive play electrified fans across the nation.
Howard’s Heisman moment came in the form of an unforgettable 93-yard punt return against Ohio State, capped with his signature Heisman pose in the end zone—a gesture that remains one of the most iconic images in college football. The documentary highlights how Howard’s charisma and clutch performances helped redefine the role of special teams and wide receivers in the Heisman conversation.
Then came Charles Woodson in 1997, who made history as the only primarily defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy. Woodson’s ability to impact the game on defense, offense, and special teams set him apart in a highly competitive season.
His game-changing interceptions, lockdown coverage, and even a key punt return touchdown against Ohio State helped solidify his place as one of the greatest all-around players the game has ever seen.
The documentary delves into how Woodson’s win challenged traditional narratives about the Heisman and opened the door for defensive players to be considered for the prestigious honor.
*Our THREE Heisman Trophy Winners* also weaves in commentary from coaches, teammates, sports journalists, and fans, painting a full picture of how these three athletes not only excelled on the field but also carried the legacy of Michigan football with pride and integrity.
Each segment captures the spirit of their era and the evolving nature of the game, from Harmon’s pre-war heroics to Howard’s electrifying athleticism and Woodson’s game-breaking versatility.
In celebrating these three legends, the documentary reinforces the University of Michigan’s position as one of the storied programs in college football.
With legacy, leadership, and excellence at its core, *Our THREE Heisman Trophy Winners* is both a tribute and a powerful reminder of what it means to wear the mai
