Bo Jackson – 1985
He had the opportunity to be the best athlete in history. A lot of analysts think that Bo Jackson was the greatest college player ever. He rushed with passion and hit defenders with ease. His college career had been going very well, so the Heisman Trophy was simply the icing on the cake. After he left college, he played both in the NFL and the MLB. Unfortunately, he was simply too fast for his own good. He blew out his hop during a routine run. It was truly tragic that this put an end to his career as a pro athlete.

Lamar Jackson – 2016
Even though he was among the most underrated QBs in college football, Lamar Jackson brought home the Heisman Trophy. He was quite the revelation. A lot of analysts thought that he would have been a better wide receiver than in under center. At any rate, he proved everyone wrong by refusing to change positions when he went pro. This did not affect his draft stock, so the Ravens got him as a first-round pick out of Louisville. Halfway through his rookie season in the NFL, he replaced Joe Flacco as the starter.
