The 2,000-Yard Rusher's Tragic Fall

Rashaan Salaam's phenomenal rookie season was followed by a sharp decline.

After rushing for over 2,000 yards at Colorado, Rashaan Salaam was a first-round pick who looked like a future star after a 1,000-yard rookie season with the Chicago Bears. However, injuries, fumbles, and off-field issues quickly derailed his career. He played only two more seasons in Chicago before bouncing out of the league.
