Reviewing the Biggest Draft Bust in Each NFL Team's History

The 2015 NFL draft starts Thursday, and while optimism runs rampant among 32 NFL fanbases regarding their favorite team's eventual selections, the prospect of that player becoming a bust definitely exists.

Throughout each franchise's history, there has been a player (or for some organizations, multiple players) that could be construed as a major draft "bust." For whatever reason—whether it be poor performance, lack of effort, off-field issues or injuries—these first-round picks failed to live up to lofty expectations, earning them the unfortunate designation.

In this column, we'll examine the most colossal draft bust of each NFL team and review that player's career.

Arizona Cardinals: DT Wendell Bryant

LENNY IGNELZI/Associated Press

Year: 2002

Overall Selection: 12

School: Wisconsin

A recent spate of success might have younger readers believing the Arizona Cardinals were both perennial contenders and successful drafters—but that's about as far from the truth as could possibly be.

The Cardinals were awful for a long time, in large part due to multiple misses on first-round selections. While others could be construed as terrible, the worst selection was Wisconsin defensive tackle Wendell Bryant with the 12th overall pick of the 2002 draft.

Bryant only managed 1.5 sacks in three seasons in the desert. 

Honorable Mention: QB Matt Leinart (10th overall, 2006)

Atlanta Falcons: DE Jamaal Anderson

Dave Martin/Associated Press

Year: 2007

Overall Selection: 8

School: Arkansas

No, not that Jamal Anderson. This Jamaal has two "A's" in his first name and wasn't nearly the contributor that his namesake was at the running back position.

When the Falcons drafted defensive end Jamaal Anderson with the eighth overall pick of the 2007 draft, they expected to receive a gifted pass-rusher who could help the team's defense.

But Anderson turned out to be a bust, totaling only 4.5 sacks in 60 games with the Falcons. He then bounced around with the Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals and hasn't played in an NFL game since 2012. His career didn't turn out anything close to what the Falcons expected.

Honorable Mention: DT Peria Jerry (24th overall, 2009)

Baltimore Ravens: QB Kyle Boller

Gail Burton/Associated Press

Year: 2003

Overall Selection: 19

School: California

Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome is known as one of the best in the league at his job, and with good reason—more often than not, he aces the NFL draft and adds quality players to the roster.

But in 2003, he swung and missed by trading up with New England for the 19th overall selection to select Cal quarterback Kyle Boller. Earlier in the draft, Newsome nabbed Arizona State pass-rusher Terrell Suggs with the 10th overall pick, exacerbating the bust that Boller became.

The Ravens had been seeking a franchise quarterback since jettisoning Trent Dilfer after the club's Super Bowl XXXV triumph, but Boller did not turn out to be the guy. He only managed a 20-22 record as the team's starter and threw 45 touchdown passes against 44 interceptions.

Boller later bounced around with the St. Louis Rams and Oakland Raiders, but he will be best known for not living up to expectations in the Charm City.

Honorable Mention: WR Mark Clayton (22nd overall, 2005)

Buffalo Bills: LB Aaron Maybin

Hannah Foslien/Associated Press

Year: 2009

Overall Selection: 11

School: Penn State

Coming out of Penn State, pass-rushing linebacker Aaron Maybin was a workout warrior and an athletic freak who possessed incredible physical attributes. So when the Bills tabbed him with the 11th overall pick of the 2009 draft, they expected him to help solve their defensive woes.

Well, that didn't exactly happen. Maybin lasted only two seasons in lovely Western New York and contributed a grand total of zero sacks. That's right. Zero.

Maybin was released by the Bills prior to the 2011 season, as he never bulked up to the size needed to perform at the NFL level. He did record six sacks in two seasons with the Jets, but Maybin hasn't played since appearing in eight games for Gang Green in 2012.

Honorable Mention: DT John McCargo (26th overall, 2006)

Carolina Panthers: DB Rashard Anderson

CHUCK BURTON/Associated Press

Year: 2000

Overall Selection: 23

School: Jackson State

The Carolina Panthers were in need of a cornerback when the 2000 NFL draft rolled around, and the team thought it had garnered a good one with the selection of Rashard Anderson of Jackson State with the 23rd overall pick.

In his first two seasons, Anderson started nine games and had one interception. Unfortunately for the Panthers (and Anderson), that was the extent of his NFL career.

Anderson was suspended for the entire 2002 season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and he then received an indefinite suspension in 2003. He was reinstated in 2004, when he was then released by the team. And that was the end of Anderson's NFL career, earning him the label of biggest first-round bust in Panthers team history.

Honorable Mention: WR Rae Carruth (27th overall, 1997)

Chicago Bears: QB Cade McNown

BETH A. KEISER/Associated Press

Year: 1999

Overall Selection: 12

School: UCLA

Five quarterbacks were selected in the first 12 picks of the 1999 NFL draft, and the last one was UCLA's Cade McNown, who was tabbed by the Chicago Bears to be their quarterback of the future.

McNown's NFL career lasted only two seasons, and he accumulated a 3-12 record as Chicago's starting quarterback while tossing 16 touchdown passes against 19 interceptions. McNown was traded to the Miami Dolphins prior to the 2001 season and was also with the San Francisco 49ers for a brief time, but he never appeared in another NFL game.

The fact that he only lasted two seasons in Chicago earns him the label of the team's biggest draft bust.

Honorable Mention: RB Curtis Enis (5th overall, 1998)

Cincinnati Bengals: QB Akili Smith

AL BEHRMAN/Associated Press

Year: 1999

Overall Selection: 3

School: Oregon

In the previous slide, the famous (or infamous) 1999 draft was discussed, in which five quarterbacks were selected in the first 12 picks. The third QB (and third overall pick) was Oregon's Akili Smith, who was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Smith had impressive physical tools but lacked experience, having only served as the Ducks starter for one season. The concerns about his experience turned out to be accurate, as Smith only tossed five touchdown passes (against 13 interceptions) in four seasons in the Queen City and went 3-14 as the team's starter.

Smith was so bad that the Bengals then used the first overall pick of the 2003 draft on USC quarterback Carson Palmer, just four years after thinking they had acquired their quarterback of the future in Smith.

Honorable Mention: QB David Klingler (6th overall, 1992)

Cleveland Browns: QB Brady Quinn

Tony Dejak/Associated Press

Year: 2007

Overall Selection: 22

School: Notre Dame

Coming into the 2007 NFL draft, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn was one of the event's most heralded prospects, and conventional wisdom suggested that he'd be a top-10 pick.

But after the Dolphins passed on Quinn to draft receiver/return man Ted Ginn Jr., Quinn began a precipitous drop that lasted until the 22nd overall pick, when the Browns opted to draft the local Ohio product to solve their quarterback woes.

However, Quinn never got the job done in Cleveland, tossing 10 touchdown passes against nine interceptions and garnering a record as 3-9 as the team's starter in three seasons. Quinn then bounced around with the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Jets and Rams, and never fulfilled the massive promise he showed when starring for the Fighting Irish.

Honorable Mention: RB Trent Richardson (3rd overall, 2012)

Dallas Cowboys: TE David LaFleur

Ezra Shaw/Getty Images

Year: 1997

Overall Selection: 22

School: LSU

Heading into the 1997 draft, the Dallas Cowboys were one season removed from their last Super Bowl title (which still counts as their last world championship), and the organization (especially quarterback Troy Aikman) felt the offense needed another target.

Enter LSU tight end David LaFleur, who the team nabbed with the 22nd overall selection. The Cowboys would go 6-10 in 1997, and LaFleur didn't produce much, which proved to be an unfortunate career theme—he only recorded 85 receptions and 12 touchdown grabs in four NFL seasons (all with the Cowboys).

Honorable Mention: LB Bobby Carpenter (18th overall, 2006)

Denver Broncos: WR Marcus Nash

Year: 1998

Overall Selection: 30

School: Tennessee

The Denver Broncos were riding high heading into the 1998 draft, just months removed from upsetting the favored Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII. But in an effort to upgrade the receiving corps for star quarterback John Elway, the Broncos swung and missed with Tennessee pass-catcher Marcus Nash.

Nash only lasted one season in the Mile High City, catching four passes for 76 yards. Fortunately for the Broncos, Nash's bust status didn't stop them from adding a second consecutive Super Bowl championship, but that was the extent of Nash's Denver career.

Nash was dealt to the Dolphins in 1999 and also played in Baltimore, but he never came close to making the impact expected of him when he was made the 30th overall pick of the 1998 draft.

Honorable Mention: RB Steve Sewell (26th overall, 1985)

Detroit Lions: WR Charles Rogers

ED BETZ/Associated Press

Year: 2003

Overall Selection: 2

School: Michigan State

Many NFL fans remember the tenure of former Detroit Lions general manager Matt Millen as being a total disaster, and one in which he selected wide receivers with three consecutive top-10 picks from 2003-2005.

The first of those receivers was Michigan State's Charles Rogers, tabbed with the second overall pick of the 2003 draft. Rogers was a stud for the Spartans on the collegiate level and exploded onto the scene with the Lions, catching two touchdowns in his first NFL game.

But injuries and off-field issues led to Rogers lasting only three NFL seasons, in which he totaled 36 catches and only four touchdown receptions. Given that he was the second overall pick in 2003, that makes him Detroit's biggest draft bust, and a selection (among many) that Millen surely regrets.

Honorable Mention: WR Mike Williams (10th overall, 2005)

Green Bay Packers: OT Tony Mandarich

Adam Stoltman/Associated Press

Year: 1989

Overall Selection: 2

School: Michigan State

Michigan State offensive tackle Tony Mandarich earned the nickname "The Incredible Bulk" for his massive frame, and the Green Bay Packers thought they had drafted a stud when they took him with the second overall pick of the 1989 draft. 

But Mandarich never lived up to those lofty standards, lasting only three (average) seasons in Green Bay before moving on to Indianapolis, where he played decent football for three seasons before his career ended following the 1998 campaign.

Making matters worse for the Packers is that the other four players drafted in the top five of the 1989 draft—Troy Aikman (Dallas), Barry Sanders (Detroit), Derrick Thomas (Kansas City) and Deion Sanders (Atlanta)—are all enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

Honorable Mention: QB Rich Campbell (6th overall, 1981)

Houston Texans: DE Travis Johnson

Anonymous/Associated Press

Year: 2005

Overall Selection: 16

School: Florida State

The Houston Texans entered the NFL prior to the 2002 season, and while that means they haven't had many drafts to choose a bust from, it's worth noting that their record of first-round drafting has mostly been good. Even quarterback David Carr, the franchise's first draft pick (No. 1 overall in 2002), doesn't qualify as a major bust, despite never fully living up to expectations.

The franchise's biggest bust has to be defensive end Travis Johnson, selected with the 16th overall pick in 2005. Johnson only garnered two sacks in four seasons with Houston, failing to live up to his first-round expectations.

Honorable Mention: DT Amobi Okoye (10th overall, 2007)

Indianapolis Colts: QB Art Schlichter

Lennox McLendon/Associated Press

Year: 1982

Overall Selection: 4

School: Ohio State

Heading into the 1982 NFL draft, the Colts—then residing in Baltimore—needed a quarterback, and Ohio State's Art Schlichter had become extremely popular on the collegiate level.

So the Colts selected Schlichter with the fourth overall pick, but he lasted only 13 games with the team, going 0-6 as the starter and tossing only three touchdown passes against 11 interceptions. His last NFL action came in 1985.

Unfortunately for Schlichter, he became more known for his off-field issues (primarily compulsive gambling) than for what he did (or didn't) accomplish on the field.

Honorable Mention: LB Trev Alberts (5th overall, 1994)

Jacksonville Jaguars: QB Blaine Gabbert

John Raoux/Associated Press

Year: 2011

Overall Selection: 10

School: Missouri

Coming into the 2011 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars needed a young quarterback of the future—and surely thought they got one when they selected Missouri's Blaine Gabbert with the 10th overall selection.

But Gabbert turned out to be a massive bust, garnering a 5-22 record as the club's starter to go along with 22 touchdown passes against 24 interceptions. He looked skittish in the pocket and never seemed comfortable at the NFL level, and the Jaguars traded him to the 49ers prior to the 2014 season.

Gabbert is now the primary backup for San Francisco starter Colin Kaepernick, and as any Jaguars fan would tell any 49ers supporter, Kaepernick had better stay healthy if the 49ers are to have a prayer of competing in 2015.

Honorable Mention: DE Derrick Harvey (8th overall, 2008)

Kansas City Chiefs: WR Sylvester Morris

ORLIN WAGNER/Associated Press

Year: 2000

Overall Selection: 21

School: Jackson State

Some players turn out to be draft busts because they lacked the dedication needed to succeed at the NFL level. There are those that had off-field issues, while others simply lacked talent.

But in the case of Jackson State receiver Sylvester Morris—selected by the Kansas City Chiefs with the 21st overall selection in 2000—his career was cut short by knee injuries, making him an unfortunate inclusion on this list.

In one season in Kansas City, Morris caught 48 passes for 678 yards and three touchdowns, but he never played another NFL game due to injuries.

Honorable Mention: QB Todd Blackledge (7th overall, 1983)

Miami Dolphins: RB John Avery

Year: 1998

Overall Selection: 29

School: Mississippi

Heading into the 1998 NFL draft, there was a lot of buzz centered around Ole Miss running back John Avery, who was one of the fastest players available.

So Miami Dolphins fans were naturally excited when the club selected Avery with the 29th overall pick. However, Avery lasted only one season on South Beach, rushing for 503 yards and two touchdowns. Avery was then dealt to the Broncos for receiver Marcus Nash, a draft bust in his own right (see the Broncos slide for more).

Avery also played for the Broncos and Minnesota Vikings, and had stints in the XFL and CFL as well, but his lack of production in Miami merits his inclusion on this list.

Honorable Mention: WR Ted Ginn Jr. (9th overall, 2007)

Minnesota Vikings: QB Christian Ponder

Lynne Sladky/Associated Press

Year: 2011

Overall Selection: 12

School: Florida State

Earlier in this piece, we detailed another quarterback from the 2011 NFL draft as a bust—Jacksonville's Blaine Gabbert. Christian Ponder, who was selected with the 12th overall pick by the Minnesota Vikings, becomes the second.

The selection came as a bit of a surprise, as Ponder never truly dazzled in college at Florida State. He never dazzled in the Twin Cities either, compiling a record of 14-21-1 and tossing 38 touchdown passes against 36 interceptions.

While he wasn't all bad—he did help lead Minnesota to a surprising playoff berth in 2012—he lasted only four seasons in Minnesota and signed with the Raiders in March. Given where he was selected, he definitely counts as a massive draft bust.

Honorable Mention: WR Troy Williamson (7th overall, 2005)

New England Patriots: DE Kenneth Sims

Mike Kullen/Associated Press

Year: 1982

Overall Selection: 1

School: Texas

Younger readers know the New England Patriots as a perennial juggernaut, the winners of four Super Bowl championships since 2001. But older readers know the franchise wasn't always a powerhouse, and poor drafts helped in that regard.

No draft pick in Patriots history was worse than using the No. 1 overall pick of the 1982 draft on Texas defensive end Kenneth Sims, who proved to be an injury-prone player who only accrued 17 sacks in his eight-year career.

That is far from the kind of production expected from the draft's top overall pick.

Honorable Mention: OL Eugene Chung (13th overall, 1992)

New Orleans Saints: DT Johnathan Sullivan

BILL HABER/Associated Press

Year: 2003

Overall Selection: 6

School: Georgia

In the 2003 NFL draft, the New Orleans Saints traded their two first-round picks (17th and 18th overall) to the Arizona Cardinals to move up to sixth overall, where they used that pick to select Georgia defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan.

Given that the team traded two first-round picks to acquire Sullivan, the expectations for the former Bulldog were sky high. But Sullivan only lasted three seasons in the Bayou, starting only 16 games and contributing just 1.5 sacks.

Sullivan never played in the NFL again following the 2005 season, making him the biggest draft bust in Saints history.

Honorable Mention: P Russell Erxleben (11th overall, 1979)

New York Giants: DE Cedric Jones

BILL KOSTROUN/Associated Press

Year: 1996

Overall Selection: 5

School: Oklahoma

As the 1996 NFL draft approached, it became clear that there were five players perceived to be the best available—receiver Keyshawn Johnson, tackle Jonathan Ogden, linebacker Kevin Hardy, running back Lawrence Phillips and defensive end Simeon Rice.

The New York Giants held the fifth pick and watched as Johnson, Hardy, Rice and Ogden went off the board before them. They passed over Phillips (more on him in the Rams slide) and selected Oklahoma defensive end Cedric Jones.

Jones was blind in one eye and couldn't play on the left side, which did allow them to move Michael Strahan to the right side, helping catapult Strahan to a Hall of Fame career. But Jones didn't contribute much outside of that, totaling only 15 sacks in five seasons on Broadway. 

Honorable Mention: TE Derek Brown (14th overall, 1992)

New York Jets: LB Vernon Gholston

Anonymous/Associated Press

Year: 2008

Overall Selection: 6

School: Ohio State

Heading into a critical season in 2008, the New York Jets acquired quarterback Brett Favre from the Packers, a move that raised expectations. So when the club tabbed Ohio State pass-rusher (and workout warrior) Vernon Gholston with the sixth overall pick, much was laid on his shoulders.

Gholston didn't come close to reaching expectations, failing to garner a single sack in 45 games played for the Jets. He attempted to revive his career with the Bears, but didn't make the team, ending the career of the Jets' all-time biggest draft bust. 

Honorable Mention: RB Blair Thomas (2nd overall, 1990)

Oakland Raiders: QB JaMarcus Russell

Jack Dempsey/Associated Press

Year: 2007

Overall Selection: 1

School: LSU

There is much debate as to which prospect is, in fact, the biggest NFL draft bust of all time—but you'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger one than LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell.

Russell, buoyed by a dazzling performance in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame, was selected by the Oakland Raiders with the first overall pick of the 2007 draft. Russell possessed a cannon for an arm and an imposing physical frame, leading many to believe he'd be the passer to lead Oakland back to the halcyon days of Ken Stabler and Jim Plunkett.

But Russell was a titanic bust, finishing his three-year Raiders career with a 7-18 record as the starter while committing 38 turnovers. After being released by the team prior to the 2009 season, Russell never appeared in another NFL game.

Honorable Mention: QB Todd Marinovich (24th overall, 1991)

Philadelphia Eagles: G Danny Watkins

Uncredited/Associated Press

Year: 2011

Overall Selection: 23

School: Baylor

Baylor guard Danny Watkins didn't start playing football until he was 22 years old, and he was 26 when the Eagles selected him with the 23rd overall pick of the 2011 draft.

Watkins was blessed with incredible size and strength, but those attributes never translated to the football field, as he only started 18 games for the Eagles and was released after just two seasons with the team.

Honorable Mention: OT Kevin Allen (9th overall, 1985)

Pittsburgh Steelers: DE Huey Richardson

Lynne Sladky/Associated Press

Year: 1991

Overall Selection: 15

School: Florida

The Pittsburgh Steelers thought they were adding a pass-rushing force in the 1991 draft when they selected Florida defensive end Huey Richardson with the 15th overall pick.

But Richardson lasted only one season in Pittsburgh, failing to tally a single sack. When Bill Cowher became the Steelers coach prior to the 1992 season, Richardson was shipped off to the Washington Redskins in exchange for a seventh-round pick.

The Steelers received zero sacks and a seventh-round pick from Richardson, the 15th overall pick in 1991. That makes him the club's biggest draft bust.

Honorable Mention: QB Mark Malone (28th overall, 1980)

St. Louis Rams: RB Lawrence Phillips

Brian Bahr/Getty Images

Year: 1996

Overall Selection: 6

School: Nebraska

When the biggest draft busts in NFL history are discussed, Lawrence Phillips is often mentioned—and with good reason.

Phillips starred in college at Nebraska, and despite off-field issues, his talent was such that the St. Louis Rams made him the sixth overall pick of the 1996 draft. But Phillips only lasted 25 games with the Rams, and he scored just 13 touchdowns.

Phillips would also play for the Dolphins and 49ers, but his issues with the law proved to be his undoing. Just this month, Phillips' cellmate in a California prison was strangled to death, and Phillips is listed as a suspect in the homicide, per Reuters.

Honorable Mention: OT Jason Smith (2nd overall, 2009)

San Diego Chargers: QB Ryan Leaf

KENT HORNER/Associated Press

Year: 1998

Overall Selection: 2

School: Washington State

In addition to JaMarcus Russell, the other big name best known as a colossal draft bust is former Washington State quarterback Ryan Leaf.

Heading into the 1998 draft, the Indianapolis Colts held the No. 1 overall pick and were torn between Leaf and Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning. The Colts selected Manning, who has shattered numerous NFL records and will be a first-ballot inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Chargers, picking second, selected Leaf.

Leaf tossed 13 touchdown passes against 33 interceptions in two seasons with the Chargers, and he also played one season for the Cowboys. But Leaf's disastrous stint in San Diego makes him not only the Chargers' all-time biggest draft bust, but perhaps the biggest draft bust in NFL history.

Honorable Mention: WR Craig Davis (30th overall, 2007)

San Francisco 49ers: QB Jim Druckenmiller

Todd Warshaw/Getty Images

Year: 1997

Overall Selection: 26

School: Virginia Tech

Heading into the 1997 draft, San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young was in the twilight of his career, and the team opted to select its quarterback of the future with the 26th overall pick—Virginia Tech's Jim Druckenmiller.

However, Druckenmiller would never get the chance to replace the legendary Young, going 1-0 as the 49ers starter and tossing one career touchdown pass against four interceptions. 

Druckenmiller was dealt to the Dolphins in 1999 but never appeared in a game. He also played in the AFL and XFL. 

Honorable Mention: WR Rashaun Woods (31st overall, 2004)

Seattle Seahawks: LB Aaron Curry

Elaine Thompson/Associated Press

Year: 2009

Overall Selection: 4

School: Wake Forest

Heading into the 2009 NFL draft, Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry was thought to be the "safest" player available, and expectations were high when the Seattle Seahawks drafted him fourth overall.

But Curry lasted only three seasons in the Pacific Northwest and never came close to living up to his lofty draft status. He was traded to the Raiders during the 2011 season, but he never got it going in Oakland, which proved to be the last place he'd appear in an NFL game.

Curry's failures in Seattle make him the franchise's all-time biggest draft bust.

Honorable Mention: QB Dan McGwire (16th overall, 1991)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: LB Keith McCants

Year: 1990

Overall Selection: 4

School: Alabama

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were a downtrodden franchise heading into the 1990 draft, and they needed a reversal of fortune. They took Alabama linebacker Keith McCants with the fourth overall pick to provide just that. 

Unfortunately for them, McCants proved to be a bust, garnering only 12 sacks in three seasons in Tampa Bay and failing to live up to his draft status. McCants would also play for Houston and Arizona, but his failures with the Buccaneers earn him a spot on this list.

Honorable Mention: DL Eric Curry (6th overall, 1993)

Tennessee Titans: CB Adam "Pacman" Jones

JOHN RUSSELL/Associated Press

Year: 2005

Overall Selection: 6

School: West Virginia

While many know Adam "Pacman" Jones for his current stint with the Cincinnati Bengals, he was also a mega draft bust of the Tennessee Titans.

Jones was selected by the Titans with the sixth overall pick of the 2005 draft and was expected to star at cornerback and as a return man. And he was a very good player—it was off-field problems that made him a bust in the Music City.

Jones earned one-year and indefinite suspensions four years into his NFL career. His Titans career ended after only two seasons. 

Honorable Mention: CB Andre Woolfolk (28th overall, 2003)

Washington Redskins: QB Heath Shuler

J. Scott Applewhite/Associated Press

Year: 1994

Overall Selection: 3

School: Tennessee

The Washington Redskins had fallen on tough times heading into the 1994 draft, but the team had a new, offensive-minded coach in Norv Turner and was armed with the third overall pick.

Turner and the club opted to add a quarterback with that selection, picking Tennessee passer Heath Shuler. Shuler lasted only three seasons with the Redskins, going 4-9 as the starter. He also played one season in New Orleans.

Shuler's best successes in our nation's capital came during three terms as a U.S. representative for the state of North Carolina. But given his finest days in D.C. came as a politician and not a quarterback, he deserves to be on this list.

Honorable Mention: WR/KR Desmond Howard (4th overall, 1992)
