Alvin Harper
Harper made a name for himself in the NFL as a dangerous deep threat for the Cowboys. Of course, he was able to play opposite Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, which probably made his job a little easier. That being said, Harper led the NFL in 1994 with a ridiculous 24.9 yards per reception average. He parlayed that success into a lucrative free agent contract with the Buccaneers, to the tune of four years for $10.66 million.
But over the next two seasons, he was plagued with injuries and never produced anything near the value that Tampa Bay paid for his services. By the time he left Tampa Bay, Harper had started in only 20 games and scored a grand total of three touchdowns. To put those dismal numbers into perspective, that’s $3.5 million per touchdown!
