Orlando Pace - LT - Ohio State - 1997

Sam Bradford - QB - Oklahoma - 2010
Bradford became only the second sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. After a season ending injury in his 3rd game as a junior, Bradford entered the 2010 NFL Draft. In his first year in St. Louis, Bradford led the Rams to a 7-9 record and were eliminated from the playoffs by the Seahawks in Week 17 on SNF. Bradford won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. He broke Peyton Manning's record for most completed passes by an NFL rookie with 354 and most attempts by a rookie with 590. Bradford was also the 3rd rookie to start all 16 games and pass over 3000 yards, joining Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan. After a disappointing 2-14 season in 2011, Bradford and the Rams bounced back under new head coach Jeff Fisher and finished with a 7-8-1 record. Bradford and the Rams were off to an inconsistent start in 2013; however, Bradford passed for 1,687 yards and 14 TDs to just 4 interceptions in the first 7 games of the season. That all changed when Bradford tore his ACL against the Panthers as he was tackled going out of bounds. In the 2014 preseason, Bradford re-tore his ACL against the Browns. Bradford was then traded to the Eagles in 2015 for Nick Foles and some draft picks. Bradford played in 14 games for the Eagles, throwing for 3,725 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions.
