Desmond Howard, a former wide receiver and kick returner for the University of Michigan, is famous for striking the “Heisman pose” during a game against Ohio State in 1991.
He made the pose following a 93-yard punt return for a touchdown known as “The Catch.” Howard’s performance won him the Heisman Trophy that year, and his pose has become one of the most iconic moments in college football history. Many players have imitated the pose since then, but Howard’s original pose remains the most famous.
