The NFL’s Most Forgotten One-Hit Wonders (And 10 Late Bloomers)

Olandis Gary

Olandis Gary was one of the string of players who helped perpetuate the the theory of “Mike Shanahan can get a thousand yards rushing from any running back.”

After (now Hall of Fame) running back Terrell Davis went down with an injury in 1999, Gary came in and ran for 1159 yards on 276 attempts, with seven touchdowns. But after hurting his knee the following year, he was never the same player. After the 2004 season, Gary was already out of the NFL.
