Once he was done with college, Mike Rozier was considered one of the greatest amateur athletes. He won the Heisman Trophy in his senior year. Unfortunately, his time in the NFL did not bear as many fruits. Before joining the league, he spent two years in the United States Football League with the Pittsburgh Maulers. When he finally joined the NFL, he only got to rush for a thousand yards once.

George Rogers

After spending seven seasons in the NFL, he had 7,176 rushing yards to his name. When George Rogers was still a rookie, he impressed us with his record of more than 1,600. He made it to the list because he only spent seven years in the league. We all know just how valuable longevity is to any career in the NFL. Even though he had a great run, he was unable to stay healthy. He retired when the 1987 season ended.
