    I can think of several people more "athletic" than the Jason White I saw in the Sugar Bowl.

    Who couldn't?

    Its not based on one game though. It is based on their entire season's accomplishments.

    People who play sports are generally called athletes are they not?

    athlete
    n : a person trained to compete in sports

    Although that does not apply anyways here. If you want to base it off that one game. Well, Jason White showed athleticism by playing through pain. It was obvious by mid-way through that game that he was struggling to get up for the next play. Tell me that did not take athleticism.

    I prefer to think that Jason White wholeheartedly deserved his Heisman, he just played against the best defense in the country in the Sugar Bowl and any Heisman winner at any position would have been just as inept as JW was vs the Tigers.
