In an unsurprising result, Lamar Jackson took home the Heisman Trophy.
While it was seemingly a foregone conclusion, the ceremony still had to take place. With it came all of the old winners, including Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel.

Lamar Jackson came dressed to the nines, with a sweet red tux that may or may not have come from Macy’s:

The race didn’t end up a close one. Deshaun Watson, Baker Mayfield, Jabrill Peppers and Dede Westbrook all had solid years but they couldn’t even come close to Jackson.

The ceremony was rather long, but the buildup didn’t hurt the ultimate satisfaction of the moment:
That’s awesome. For both Jackson and his suit.
