Los Angeles Rams: Sam Bradford

While Sam Bradford was not a highly recruited player coming out of college, he was given a scholarship from his hometown Oklahoma Sooners. Working his way up the depth chart, Bradford proved to be one of the better quarterbacks in college football, becoming only the second sophomore to ever win the Heisman Trophy.

After that monster 2008 college football season, Bradford came back to Oklahoma for one more shot at a national title, but his final season on campus was ravaged due to injury. Still, the then-St. Louis Rams made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, and immediately inserted him into the starting lineup.

During his rookie season, Bradford took the NFL by storm, setting the NFL’s rookie record for completions in a season. The NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, Bradford appeared destined for stardom wearing a Rams uniform, but injuries came back to  haunt him, and he was gone from the organization by 2015.

In his second season in the NFL, Bradford suffered an ankle injury, and after a solid 2012 campaign, he looked to be back on pace to be one of the better quarterbacks in the league. However, ACL tears ruined his 2013 and 2014 seasons, and he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2015 offseason in a package that included future Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles.
