The big, strapping Drew Bledsoe was the #1 overall pick of the 1993 NFL Draft, and the rock upon which the resurrection of the moribund New England Patriots would be built. Bledsoe not only led the Patriots to the playoffs in his second year as a starter, but the Super Bowl in his fourth year.

And yet, while Bledsoe made the playoffs three times in his first five seasons in the league, he either went one-and-done in two of those three playoff appearances, and lost to Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXI. Bledsoe would go on to play in only one more postseason game, which would come in 2001 when he came in as a relief quarterback for Tom Brady.
