NFL Injuries: Which NFL stars deserve career re-do?

Another early first round pick, Jake Locker had a promising collegiate career at Washington that led some to believe he would be a star in the NFL. Locker was drafted No. 8 overall by the Tennessee Titans following a junior season with the Huskies where his numbers dipped a bit.

As a junior, Locker passed for 2,265 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions, down from his 2,800 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions as a sophomore. The talent and potential were both there, so the Titans made the bold decision to draft him early.

During his rookie campaign, he played just five games and passed for 542 yards, four touchdowns and no picks. He acted as the backup to veteran gunslinger Matt Hasselbeck that season and everyone knew he was just being groomed as the starter for coming seasons.

In his second year, Locker started 11 games, passing for 2,176 yards and 10 touchdowns with 11 interceptions before tearing a ligament in his shoulder. He was then replaced by the veteran until the 2013 season.

Locker started just seven games in 2013 all thanks to a hip injury and then a foot injury after recovering from the hip. He was never the same as he was benched for Zach Mettenberger in 2014 and then retired shortly after the season.
