In what year was the winner of the Heisman Trophy in 1952 drafted to the NFL?
1953
Indianapolis Colts draft history
This is a list of NFL Draft selections by the Indianapolis Colts.
 The first draft that the current incarnation of the Colts franchise participated in was 1953, in which they made halfback Billy Vessels of Oklahoma their first ever selection.
Billy Vessels
Billy Dale Vessels (March 22, 1931 – November 17, 2001) was a gridiron football player.
 He played college football at the University of Oklahoma and won the Heisman Trophy in 1952.
 Vessels went on to play professional football with the National Football League's Baltimore Colts and the Western Interprovincial Football Union's Edmonton Eskimos.
Terry Baker
Terry Wayne Baker (born May 5, 1941) is a former American football and basketball player.
 He played college football and college basketball at the Oregon State University.
 He played as a quarterback for the Oregon State Beavers football team from 1960 to 1962, winning the Heisman Trophy as senior.
 In the spring of his senior year, he played in the Final Four of the 1963 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament with the Oregon State Beavers men's basketball team.
 To date, he is the only athlete to win a Heisman Trophy and play in the Final Four.
 Baker was the first overall pick in the 1963 NFL draft and played with the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL) from 1963 to 1965.
 He then played for one season in the Canadian Football League (CFL) with the Edmonton Eskimos, in 1966.
 Baker was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1982. Charlie Ward
Charlie Ward Jr. (born October 12, 1970) is a retired American professional NBA basketball player, college football Heisman Trophy winner, Davey O'Brien Award winner and a Major League Baseball draftee.
 Despite his NCAA football success, Ward was one of the very few players who won a Heisman trophy but was not drafted in the NFL draft.
 He won the College Football National Championship with the Florida State University Seminoles.
 Ward played several years with the New York Knicks and started in the NBA Finals.
 He was inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
 An avid tennis player, Ward also displayed his skills at the Arthur Ashe Tennis Tournament in 1994. Heisman curse
The Heisman curse is a term coined to reference a two-part assertion of a negative future for the winning player of the Heisman Trophy.
 The "curse" supposes that any college football player who wins the Heisman plays on a team that will likely lose its subsequent bowl game.
 The trend of post-award failure has garnered the attention of the mainstream media.
 Talk of a curse in relation to bowl results was particularly prevalent from 2003 to 2008, when six Heisman Trophy winners compiled a cumulative 1–5 bowl game record, and five of those six led number one ranked teams into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) National Championship Game as favorites (Heisman Trophy winners, including Reggie Bush, who gave back his Heisman Trophy, are 4–8 overall in the BCS National Championship Game and College Football Playoff National Championship, although prior to 2009 they were 1–6).
 Additionally, the Heisman curse asserts that in most cases a Heisman winner will have either a poor career in the National Football League (NFL), or in fact not even see such a football career at all.
 Although many Heisman winners have not enjoyed success at the professional level, including players like Matt Leinart, Andre Ware, Jason White, Rashaan Salaam, Eric Crouch, Ty Detmer, Troy Smith and Gino Torretta, proponents of the "curse" rarely cite highly successful players such as Barry Sanders, Charles Woodson, Eddie George, Tim Brown, Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Earl Campbell, and Tony Dorsett among the notables. 1988 Los Angeles Raiders season
The 1988 Los Angeles Raiders season was the club's 29th season in the NFL.
 Mike Shanahan was hired as head coach, and the club finished with a 7–9 record.
 The Raiders drafted Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown, making Brown the third person on the Raiders roster to have won the Heisman Trophy, the others being Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson.
 Most of the team's success throughout the season came through their division, as the Raiders finished 6-2 against the weak AFC West division, with their only 2 losses against the champions of the division, the Seattle Seahawks.
 However, the Raiders were only 1-7 against the rest of the NFL, with their only other win coming against the eventual champions, the 49ers in San Francisco in a game in which only field goals were kicked. Kinnick Stadium
Kinnick Stadium, formerly known as Iowa Stadium, is a stadium located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States.
 It is the home stadium of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, in the sport of college football.
 First opened in 1929, it currently holds up to 70,585 people, making it the 7th largest stadium in the Big Ten, and one of the 20 largest university owned stadiums in the nation.
 It is named for Nile Kinnick, the 1939 Heisman Trophy winner and the only Heisman winner in university history, who died in service during World War II.
 It was named Iowa Stadium until 1972, when longtime lobbying by "Cedar Rapids Gazette" sportswriter Gus Schrader successfully convinced the UI athletic board to change the name.
 It is currently the only college football stadium named after a Heisman Trophy winner. Doug Flutie
Douglas Richard Flutie (born October 23, 1962) is a former quarterback in the National Football League (NFL), Canadian Football League (CFL), and United States Football League (USFL).
 He first rose to prominence during his college football career at Boston College, where he received the Heisman Trophy and the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award in 1984.
 His "Hail Flutie" touchdown pass in a game against Miami on November 23, 1984 (dubbed "The Pass") is considered among the greatest moments in college football and American sports history.
 Flutie was selected as the 285th pick in the 11th round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams, making him the lowest drafted Heisman Award winner among those who were drafted.
 Flutie played that year for the New Jersey Generals of the upstart USFL, having already signed a five-year $5 million contract with them prior to being drafted by the Rams.
 In 1986, he signed with the NFL's Chicago Bears, and later played for the New England Patriots, becoming their starting quarterback in 1988. Heisman Trophy
The Heisman Memorial Trophy (usually known colloquially as the Heisman Trophy or The Heisman), is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football in the United States whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity.
 Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work.
 It is presented by the Heisman Trophy Trust in early December before the postseason bowl games. Jay Berwanger
John Jacob "Jay" Berwanger (March 19, 1914 – June 26, 2002) was an American college football player and referee.
 He was the first winner of the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy in 1935 (the following year the award was renamed the Heisman Trophy); the trophy is awarded annually to the nation's most outstanding college football player.
 Berwanger was a star halfback for the Chicago Maroons football team of the University of Chicago, where he was known as the "one man football team".
 In 1936, Berwanger became the first player drafted into the National Football League (NFL) in its inaugural 1936 NFL Draft, though he did not play professionally.
