Ron Dayne
This 1999 Heisman Trophy winner holds the record for rushing yards in the NCAA Division I FBS history. The New York Giants swooped in on him at the 11th pick at the 2000 NFL Draft. He and Tiki Barber teamed up in the backfield. The two became known as “Thunder and Lightning,” which is a nod to his strength and Barber’s speed. Sadly, his carries gradually diminished within the next few seasons.

Chris Weinke
A QB for Florida State, Chris Weinke was the Heisman Trophy winner in 2000. The year after that, he joined the Panthers as a starter. Sadly, he had a pretty unmemorable season. Carolina also scored a 1-15 record that year. After that, they made him the backup of Jake Delhomme. He remained in the bleachers for years, only making a start when the other suffered an injury in 2006. For a short period of time, he also played for Cleveland and San Francisco. In the end, however, he decided to start coaching instead.
