Carnell “Cadillac” Williams helped lead Auburn University Tigers to an SEC Championship and Sugar Bowl victory, and his team finished with a perfect 13-0 record. That led to Williams being selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As a rookie, Williams ran for 1,178 yards and six touchdowns, and set records as the first rookie running back to ever have three consecutive 100 yard games in his first three games of the year. But he endured a brutal sophomore slump in 2006, running for only 798 yards on 225 carries, for a paltry 3.5 yards per carry. He also scored only one touchdown over the entire season.
