Is there an NFL player who has benefited more from his Heisman Trophy win than Sam Bradford? We doubt it. The Oklahoma player was a top prospect after his graduation. His rookie season was notable, but something went wrong along the way. After tearing his ACL, he was unable to play as he once did. We can all so that he has potential, which is why he kept cashing in on more than $100 million deals.

We agree that Carson Palmer had been a great QB during his time in the NFL. However, he earned a spot on the list because we don’t think he lived up to the hype. The Bengals drafted the Heisman Trophy winner, and he has mostly delivered. Even so, he has yet to win big. After Andy Dalton joined the team, he went to Arizona and reached the NFC Championship Game before succumbing to pressure.
