Denard Robinson finds himself in a familiar position today.
After seeing his name mentioned among the Heisman Trophy frontrunners for the bulk of the 2010 season, the Michigan quarterback is again among the favorites for college football’s highest honor.

Robinson was among 22 players named to a preseason Heisman watch list by HeismanPundit.com on Tuesday.
He’s one of four Big Ten players named to the list. Wisconsin running backs Montee Ball and James White both made the cut, along with Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez.
Robinson has plenty of company from other quarterbacks. Thirteen were among the hopefuls.
One who wasn’t stood out: Northwestern quarterback Dan Persa, who won first-team all-Big Ten honors ahead of Robinson last season.
