Charles White
When he was a senior at USC, Charles White received the Heisman Trophy in 1979. The Cleveland Browns chose him during the first round of the NFL draft. For the next four years, he did not live up to the expectations that people had of him. He only rushed for 942 yards! After leaving the team, the Los Angeles Rams took him in. Sadly, he only rushed once. After he left the green, he saw success when he joined American Gladiators. He appeared on the show twice and won both times.

Billy Sims
It is always tragic when a promising career gets derailed by an injury. Billy Sims had been doing great for five years when he injured his knee. Things started to go downhill after that. We are sure that he could have recovered if that happened now. The Detroit Lions took him in, and he gave the franchise new life for five seasons. During that span of time, he took them to the Pro Bowl three times and led them to the playoffs twice. By the time he retired, he had 5,106 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns under his belt.
