Donald Eugene Brown II.

The Colts didn't even want Brown. They were 100% all in on Clay Matthews, but Green Bay grabbed him the pick before and the Colts didnt have a backup plan. Even so...he played. Played 5 years for the Colts. Wasn't terrible. Wasn't good enough to get the starter position. He eventually lost his roster spot to Vic Ballard and TRENT RICHARDSON.

Here he is on a burner account trying to drum up excitement:

Here is Andrew Luck bailing Donald out:

And the ever classic, you know you hosed up when Peyton Manning takes time during a play to curse your name:

He got drafted, and Peyton yelled at him; that's pretty much everything of note.

GOD DAMMIT DONALD!!!!

Also I'm submitting Joseph Addai's name for consideration.

Seconding Beanie Wells. I remember him stiffarming some Giants defender into an early grave one game and then he got kinda a rep for that and then just faded away.

I remember when he was supposed to be a first round pick in fantasy and I laughed. Also laughed really hard when someone took him in the first in my work league.

wasn't he a good RB derailed by injury? I recall him having a few 1200+ yard seasons

I don't know how GOOD he was. I was just really coming into being a hard core football fan around 2009, but I remember him tearing his ACL in 2010 and just not being good after that.

Oh man I forgot all about Jonathan Dwyer, he was one of those Jonathan Stewart-eque bowling ball type dudes, right? He also apparently beat his wife, so it's amazing he didn't get more shots in the league.

I think Dwyer was mentioned a page ago by someone who listed like 25 names.
