Indianapolis Colts

QB. Washington. Chris Chandler . 14. player. 46.

Some people might criticize this choice because by the time Chandler peaked in the late 1990s, the Indianapolis Colts were drafting Peyton Manning. Sure, but facts are facts. Anytime a team lets go of a future Pro Bowl quarterback, that deserves criticism. Looking back it’s rather amazing that the Colts failed to get anything out of him givens the weapons they had.

Not only did Indianapolis have Eric Dickerson, an all-time running back. They also drafted a phenomenal athlete at wide receiver in Andre Rison. If they’d recognized what Chandler could do, that could’ve been an impressive offense. Instead he was cut in his third season. After moving between teams trying to find the right fit, he latched on with the Atlanta Falcons in 1997.

Over the next two years, he made the Pro Bowl twice, threw 45 touchdowns to just 19 interceptions and got the Falcons to their first Super Bowl.
