  • Most NFL players would love to have long careers and be very consistent throughout their time in the league, but that can't always be the case. Sometimes there is a player that does extremely well in one season and then falls off completely for the rest of their career. This is otherwise known as a "one season wonder" NFL player. Those are the types of guys that we are covering today and it should bring back memories if you have been watching football for a long time.

I hate to say it, but it wasn't just weed. He went to rehab for coke and I could imagine that, along with one offs of other drugs, probably reduced his athletic ability. Truly a shame

Then something happened the next season and he started missing extra points. The years after, either he was great with field goals and was missing extra points. Or he made all his extra points, but was missing a significant amount of field goals.

Wentz literally blew it every time the lights were bright he threw a pick , or fumbled the ball . No he did not have a good year for the colts you guys are repeating stats you did not watch the games , his stats always came in garbage time when the game was already lost and the defense could careless about you dinking and dunking down the field .

I'm not saying he should've won MVP or anything. All I'm saying is that the first part of the season he was incredible.

    this shows why runningbacks dont get paid. They can have a career year in losing efforts.

    I just started watching a video of Bengals quarterback Greg Cook is not on this list you've lost all reputability.!
    In 1969 cook put up his numbers of MVP caliber at quarterback as a rookie... He would have rewritten the 70s as we know them, and seriously damaged both the raiders and Steelers and dolphins legacies. Is coach Bill Walsh believed that he was the most talented quarterback he had ever seen, more then either Steve Young or Joe Montana or Ken Anderson.
    One injury that the Bengals front office couldn't seem to manage and Cook's Hall of Fame potential was gone in a blank

    Jeffers got screwed over by the panthers' doctor with his microfacture surgery. My biggest "what if" in league history, next to Bo Jackson

    Private matters aside, Stacy never got a fair shot. The guy proved himself and got tossed back to the bench for an emotional head case.

    NCAA 07., no one was allowed to be WVU. Slaton and Pat White at QB were both too fast.

    Interesting that you put three Browns on the list and one of them isn't Braylon Edwards
