Tim Tebow

The Denver Broncos had been looking for a QB in 2010. They ended up picking the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner during the first round of the draft. Apart from his game-winning touchdown pass in 2011, Tim Tebow did not really have an awe-inspiring career. In the NFL, his ability to throw the ball became a big deal. It was sad that the Florida alum was unable to get over this weakness. After his time on the field, he tried his hand at a different sport. He is now a pro baseball player with the New York Mets!

The Browns drafted the 2011 Heisman winner by trading up to the 22nd slot. They hoped that Johnny Manziel would breathe new life into the Cleveland franchise, which had been in hot water. Instead, he only had a couple of on-field moments and off-field drama to go with them. His sophomore season went to waste after a rehab stint in 2015. The team moved on from the QB since he was away from the field for two years. In 2018, he entered the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL until he was traded to Montreal.
