Rashaan Salaam
In 1944, Rashaan Salaam had one of the greatest seasons of running back in college football history. He even became the fourth major college player to exceed the 2,000-yard mark. At the Fiesta Bowl, he earned three touchdowns during a game against Notre Dame. The Chicago Bears took him in as their 21st pick. He had a promising rookie season, but he fumbled too much. In the end, he broke a leg and tore his ankle ligament. While he attempted a few comebacks, he later found himself in the XFL.

Andre Ware
In his senior year, Andre Ware made college record history with 4,699 rushing yards and 46 touchdowns. The Houston player skipped his senior year, so the scouts thought he was going to perform well in the NFL. In the end, he failed to reach his potential. He was a first-round pick of the Detroit Lions during the draft in 1990. Sadly, he was on the beach for four seasons. In 1995, he decided to instead play in the CFL. The good news is that he brought home the Grey Cup as a Toronto Argonauts player two years later.
