George’s career was marked by impressive yardage totals, including passing for over 27,600 yards, but he faced criticism for his leadership and lack of postseason success. Despite the criticisms, his longevity and arm talent is remembered among NFL quarterback conversations.

Andre Rison
Andre Rison was selected in the first round, 22nd overall, by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1989 NFL Draft. Throughout his career, Rison’s big-play ability made him one of the most exciting receivers of his era, and his contributions on the field were often matched by his colorful personality off of it.
During his career, Rison played for multiple teams including the Colts, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Oakland Raiders. As a wide receiver, he amassed over 10,000 receiving yards and 84 touchdown receptions.
He was a five-time Pro Bowl selection and a First-Team All-Pro in 1990. He was also a key mid-season addition to the Packers team that ended up winning Super Bowl XXXI.

Darrius Heyward-Bey
Darrius Heyward-Bey is a former wide receiver known for his exceptional speed and athleticism. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders with the seventh overall pick in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
Heyward-Bey spent four seasons with the Raiders but never quite lived up to the high expectations that came with his draft position. After leaving the Raiders, he signed with the Indianapolis Colts for a single season in 2013, where he was mostly used as a depth option.
In 2014, he joined the Pittsburgh Steelers and managed to rejuvenate his career to some extent. Though not a primary target, he became a valuable special teams player and occasionally contributed as a wide receiver.
Yannick Ngakoue
Yannick Ngakoue is a defensive end known for his pass-rushing skills. He was drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ngakoue had an impactful rookie season, recording eight sacks and establishing himself as a promising talent in the league.
After a strong stint with the Jaguars, where he earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2017 and recorded 37.5 sacks, Ngakoue was traded to the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. His stay in Minnesota was short-lived, and he was subsequently traded to the Baltimore Ravens during the 2020 season.
Ngakoue then signed with the Las Vegas Raiders for the 2021 season and the Colts in 2022. Over his career thus far, Ngakoue has been a disruptive force on the defensive line, amassing 65 sacks and 21 forced fumbles.
