Most of these players have been Pro-Bowlers, but those were left out of the stats because they probably didn't get enough selections given their horribleteams.
Robert Porcher (DE) - Detroit Lions. 68 sacks from 1996-2001. BEAST!
Herman Moore (WR) - Detroit Lions. 1995-1997 had 3 consecutive 100 reception seasons, second player to do this after Jerry Rice. In 1995, his 123 receptionsset an NFL record at the time.
Cortez Kennedy (DT) - Seattle Seahawks. Read up on the guy. His recognition by knowledgeable football guru's tells all. He won the DPOY in '92 on a2-14 team. He will be a Hall of Famer soon.
Sam Mills (LB) New Orleans Saints/Carolina Panthers. Stats won't do justice for this savvy football stud. An amazing leader of the lowly Saints, thenexpansion Panthers.
Carl Pickens (WR) - Cincinnati Bengals. From 1994-1996 Pickens had a great 3-year stretch amassing more than 1,000 yds and 10+ TD's in each of thoseseasons on the putrid, Jeff Blake led, Bengals.
Rodney Hampton (RB) NYG - Post Giants SB win, Hampton had 5 straight seasons with 1,000+ yards on a team that had a 39-71 record.
Others:
Larry Centers (RB) Phoenix Cardinals
Willy Roaf (OL) - New Orleans Saints
Chester McGlockton (DT) - L.A. Raiders
Aeneas Williams (CB) - Phoenix Cardinals
Non-great players who had NFL shortened careers for whatever reason.
Errict Rhett (RB) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (pre-Dungy) - Although not a great, his first two seasons started off hot, with two consecutive 1,000 yd. seasons.When Dungy came over from Minnesota, he held out for 9 games and his career was never the same.
Oronde Gadsden (WR) - Miami Dolphins. An AFL standout, Gadsden proved to be a redzone machine once he became established in the NFL. Some of the mostconsistent and best one-handed catches came from this guy.
I'm tired now, but add more if you'd like. I left out tons for you to add. It's always nice to pay homage to those who undoubtedly had skills ofNFL greats, but got stuck on perennial losers in the last of a generation where a career would stand such a duration on the bottom.
