Terrell Owens
Terrell Owens, often known by his initials, T.O., was one of the most dynamic and controversial wide receivers in NFL history. Selected in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, Owens played for five teams over his 15-year career.
He earned six Pro Bowl selections, was a five-time First-Team All-Pro, and led the league in receiving touchdowns three times. His 153 receiving touchdowns rank third in NFL history, and his 15934 receiving yards rank third as well.
Despite these impressive numbers and his significant impact on the game, Owens had to wait until his third year of eligibility before being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.

He also contributed significantly in the secondary with 17 career interceptions.
Jones has played for several teams over his career, including the Titans, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Denver Broncos. His career has been marked by both on-field success and off-field issues, but his athletic ability has never been in question.
Anthony Wright
Anthony Wright had a journeyman career in the NFL as a quarterback. He was undrafted in the 1999 NFL Draft but managed to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Over his career, he played for several teams, including the Dallas Cowboys (2000–2001), Baltimore Ravens (2002–2005), Cincinnati Bengals (2006), and New York Giants (2007). He won a Super Bowl ring as a backup QB with the Giants that season.
While never becoming a long-term starting quarterback, Wright made some memorable appearances, particularly with the Baltimore Ravens. He led the Ravens to a playoff appearance during the 2003 season when he filled in Kyle Boller.
