Wilson started his career with some COVID-19 issues and off-field concerns tied to violating team rules. He played in only game as a rookie and was traded along with a seventh-rounder with the Dolphins in 2021, with the value being just a seventh-rounder in return. Wilson struggled to stick with the regulations in Miami and was cut soon afterward. ...
Leinart, a Heisman Trophy winner, was supposed to take over for Kurt Warner when the veteran QB was finished in Arizona. That remained the plan until 2010, when Leinart lost the job to Derek Anderson and was released. Leinart did start 17 games throughout his Cardinals tenure but managed just seven wins and 10 losses.
White and Amari Cooper were regarded as the top-two wideout prospects in that class. While Cooper has panned for two teams and is on his third, White was injury-riddled from the start, missing his entire rookie season. He's battled shin, fibula and shoulder ailments. White was with the Bears for four years, resurfacing with the Cardinals, 49ers and...
Rosen did make 13 starts as a rookie but struggled mightily in a bad offense. He wasn't given an opportunity to work on getting better in Year 2, because the Cardinals turned around and used the No. 1 overall pick in 2019 to draft Kyler Murray to replace him. Rosen was flipped to the Dolphins for a second- and fifth-rounder and took several more lu...
Jordan couldn't settle into an effective position as a pass rusher with limited production and upside. His career got further derailed by a season-long suspension for violating the league's substance policy in 2015. After also not playing at all in 2016, he bounced around as the same shaky defender for the Seahawks, Raiders and 49ers through 2020.
Allen couldn't play effectively at all as a pro, showing big bust material as a rookie. Then came Allen’s positive test for cocaine the next year before he was charged and imprisoned for sexual assault. Banned from the NFL, he struggled to hang around in other leagues.
A Heisman Trophy winner and with big college numbers, Ware joined fellow Heisman winner Barry Sanders in Detroit for what the Lions thought would be a winning duo in the offensive backfield. But Ware simply couldn't cut it as an NFL quarterback. He ended up starting just six games in four seasons with the Lions.
Shuler was coming off a Heisman-finalist season when Washington made him its hope at quarterback. But he couldn't even beat out Gus Frerotte, the team's seventh-rounder in the same draft, for the starting QB job in the long term. Shuler started just 13 games (4-9 record) in three seasons for Washington before he was traded to the Saints after the 1...
Smith's Rams tenure lasted longer than one year, but effectively, he was finished with the franchise that drafted him before his rookie season ended. A concussion ended Smith's first year early, and he was replaced in the Rams' lineup by Year 2. He was traded to the Jets in 2012.
Chris Long, Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco were among several success stories in that class, but Gholston was a cautionary tale stamping the many defensive busts. Gholston was an ineffective scheme misfit from the start and failed to record a sack in making only five starts in three total NFL seasons.
