Marcus Lattimore – 49ers
While enrolled at the University of South Carolina, Lattimore was highly sought after, and ended up being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. In 2011 against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, Lattimore tore a knee ligament and it was announced that he would miss the remainder of the 2011 season. In 2012, he made a comeback but during a game against the Tennessee Volunteers, he had dislocated his right knee and torn every ligament, while also damaging the nerve. A couple months after his surgery, he declared himself eligible for the NFL Draft.

Hill’s college career at Duke was extraordinary as was his time in the NBA. After his first six seasons, before his ankle injury, Hill had a total of 9,393 points, 3,417 rebounds and 2,720 assists. The only three players in league history who got these numbers after their first six seasons are Oscar Robertson, Bird, and LeBron James. On April 15, 2000, just 7 days before the start of the playoffs, Hill sprained his left ankle in a game against the Philadelphia 76ers and this injury proved to be a major liability in the years to come.
