Robert Nkemdiche

Robert Nkemdiche was rated as the top prospect to come out of high school. He attended Ole Miss and failed to prove everyone right. Arizona decided to take a chance on him at the end of the first round of the 2016 draft. Even though he was brimming with promise, he has failed to improve his unsavory reputation. In the three years he spent with the Cardinals, he registered a total of 32 tackles and 4.5 sacks. The team turned down his fifth-year option and cut him off after he failed a physical. He now plays for the Miami Dolphins, although he is sitting it out this year until he recovers from his knee injury.

Shane Ray

Shane Ray was a pass-rushing star who was nearing the end of his college days at Mizzou. Denver hoped that this outside linebacker- defensive end hybrid would transition to the big leagues without any issues. In the four seasons he spent with the Broncos, he notched a total of 15.0 tackles-for-loss and 14.0 sacks. While not the worse, the Broncos certainly hoped to see more from him. He was released by Denver three wrist surgeries later. The Ravens signed him this offseason, although he got released on the last day of cuts. Now 26 years old, he is presently in need of a team.
