Mark Ingram was indeed a good player, but he still did not meet our expectations. He spent almost an entire decade in the NFL. The hard runner only exceeded 1,000 yards during three seasons. We think that it is pretty bad that he only got to play 16 games three times in his career. In 2019, he joined the Ravens. While his workload was even lighter, he managed to go past 1,000 rushing yards.

Desmond Howard

When Desmond Howard was in college, he was a part of the Michigan team. As a junior, he received the Heisman Trophy in 1991. Even though he was talented, he still had one of the most disappointing careers you will find on the list. In 1994, he earned his greatest playing year during his time with the Washington Redskins. This was when he managed to score five touchdowns and caught 40 balls for 727 yards. This is not bad at all, but we had higher expectations for him after his great college career.
