Troy Smith
By winning over Darren McFadden, Troy Smith brought home the Heisman award in 2006. The following year, he was a fifth-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens. Sadly, he just got to start two games during those three seasons. He later started six games for the 49ers. By 2010, he was no longer in the NFL. In August 2013, he signed a contract to play for the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL. It was a two-year contract, but the team chose to release him in 2014. This was thanks to the internal difficulties of the team and his poor showing.

Robert Griffin III
This BYU alum was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 2011. NFL scouts chased after him, but the Redskins eventually picked him. Early in his career, he delivered amazing figures for Washington. RGIII even won the NFC East Division at one point. Sadly, he suffered a knee injury in the late season, which dealt a blow to the team’s playoff hopes. Things started to go downhill after that. He continued to struggle, so he was released by the team by the end of the 2015 season.
