Sam Bradford

We can’t think of any player in the NFL who profited more off his Heisman Trophy than Sam Bradford did. The Oklahoma player has been deemed a top prospect out of college. He had a great rookie season in the league, but something came up. He tore his ACL and could not pick up where he left off after the injury. But it was clear that he had potential, so he continued to cash in on over $100 million contracts.

Was Carson Palmer a good QB in the NFL? Of course. However, did he live up to all the hype about him as a Heisman Trophy winner? We don’t think so. The Bengals drafted him up, and he managed to deliver for the most part. However, he never won the big game. When the team drafted Andy Dalton, he went to Arizona and made it to the NFC Championship Game until he succumbed to pressure.
