Rashaan Salaam
This running back had one of the best seasons for the position in 1944. Rashaan Salaam made history as the fourth major college player to go past the 2,000-yard mark. He also earned three touchdowns against the Notre Dame team at the Fiesta Bowl. He was the 21st pick by the Chicago Bears. His rookie season seemed promising, but he was infamous for fumbling and went on to break a leg and tear an ankle ligament. Even though he tried to make several comebacks, he wound up in the XFL in the end.

Andre Ware
When he was a junior, Andrew Ware set college records with 4,699 yards and 46 touchdowns for Houston. He forewent his senior year, so a lot of scouts thought he would do brilliantly in the NFL. Sadly, he did not reach his full potential. The Detroit Lions took him on as a first-round pick at the 1990 draft. For four seasons, he remained on the bench. By 1995, he was playing in the CFL instead. On the bright side, he did bag the Grey Cup as a member of the Toronto Argonauts two years later.
