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.

After being drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft, he immediately made a significant impact, with his elusive running style and receiving abilities out of the backfield. His best season came in 2013 when he led the NFL with 1,607 rushing yards.
Over his career, he has amassed over 11,000 rushing yards, over 3500 receiving yards, and 89 total touchdowns. He won Super Bowl titles in back-to-back years with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though his roles on those teams were limited.

Trent Edwards
Trent Edwards was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the third round, 92nd overall, in the 2007 NFL Draft. He started as a rookie and showed promise early in his career, earning the starting quarterback position for the Bills. His best season came in 2008 when he passed for 2,699 yards and 11 touchdowns.
However, Edwards’s performance declined, and he eventually lost his starting position. After being released by the Bills in 2010, he spent time with various teams, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders, and Chicago Bears (never saw action with the Raiders or Bears), mainly in a backup role.
His time in the NFL was marked by some bright moments, but injuries and inconsistency limited his opportunities. Edwards finished his NFL career with 6,033 passing yards and 26 touchdowns.
