Charlie Ward
Once he was done with college, Charlie Ward had a lot of options in front of him. For one thing, he had the choice to play in the NBA or the NFL. He ended up going with the former, which is why he got a spot on our list. He indeed had a lot of talent and potential, but he chose to go pro in basketball instead. Many NFL fans had been sad to hear the news. It is hard not to wonder how well he would have done if he joined our favorite team instead. Sadly, we will never know the answer to that question now.
