As a Falcons fan this one really hurts

Aundray Bruce

Draft Position: No. 1 overall, 1988

As a speedy linebacker from Auburn, Aundray Bruce made scouts' jaws drop with his athleticism and raw talent.

It's too bad the workouts didn't translate into production on the football field while wearing pads, as Bruce registered just 32 sacks in his 42 starts over an 11-year career.

Oh, and to add insult to Atlanta Falcons fans, Neil Smith—who was selected No. 2—finished with 105 careers sacks, and three wideouts—Tim Brown, Sterling Sharpe and Michael Irvin—are all going to be Hall of Famers.
