6. Robert Griffin III – 2nd overall to Redskins in 2012:
For a minute there, Griffin III looked like he would be the future of the NFL after his breakout 2012 season. But a serious knee injury against Seattle in the playoffs that year proved to be the turning point that proved “RGIII” was a bust.
After 20 touchdowns and five interceptions his rookie season, Griffin’s stats dipped to only 16 touchdowns with 12 interceptions in his injury-plagued second season. It got much worse from there. He threw four touchdowns to six picks in a dismal 2014, failed to play in 2015, and threw two touchdowns to three interceptions for Cleveland in 2016. Finally, he signed with Baltimore as a backup last year and only attempted four passes, completing two with no touchdowns. Quite a precipitous downfall for a player once billed as the future.
