Heisman Trophy, LA Rams and Dallas Cowboys.
Not the answer you wanted, but that was my generation.

Pretty sure you nailed it. Terry Baker is the only Beaver to win the Heisman . Don't know if he's left handed or not. Funny aside, the High School hero from my High School, class of '61, was a guy named Chuck Miller. He was good, scoring the only touchdown in the shrine game that year, named prep player of the year by THE OREGONIAN, other allocades. He got a full ride @ U of O Ducks. His competition there? Mel Renfro...Chuck became the punter...
