I was strictly comparing it to Heisman chances.

I was not making a position to position comparison. A goalie’s hardly ever getting an assist in the stat sheet the way Woodson would get return/receiving yards/TDs to accumulate stats. While a goalie’s clearing ability can factor in (particularly colloquially) to the overall well-rounded judgment of his ability at the position, it’ll likely play a very, very minimal role at best in his Tewaaraton chances.

Not to mention, all goalies are responsible for clearing the ball (whether they’re good, bad or average at it). A good clearing goalie isn’t “unique” or doing “extra” compared to other goalies. Woodson was unique/doing extra because most starting defensive players do not play special teams/return kicks and even fewer get offensive snaps.

Woodson would be like if your starting goalie was also a man-up specialist and added some goals/assists that way.
