Ki-Jana Carter – Cincinnati Bengals

Say whatever you want about Ki-Jana but there is no denying that he had talent. He played college ball at Penn State and earned All-American honors. He was also the No. 1 draft pick in the 1995 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. More often than not, he’s considered a “bust” as Carter was seemingly plagued with injuries from his rookie season on. He ended up tearing a ligament in his knee at his first preseason game of his rookie year, and never fully recovered – as such, he missed the entire 1995 season. After this, it was injury after injury until finally he retired in 1999.

Jason Sehorn – New York Giants

Sehorn’s career was impeccable until it wasn’t. After back-to-back successful seasons in 1996-97 with the Giants, Sehorn suffered a stunning and crippling knee injury, he tore his MCL and ACL while returning the opening kickoff during a 1998 preseason game against the Jets. He would return the following season and played for five more but with severely diminished speed. He retired in 2003 and is currently a panelist for Fox Sports Net.
