Ole Miss
RB John Avery
The particulars: Drafted 29th in 1998 by the Miami Dolphins
The skinny: The Dan Marino era was nearing an end and the Dolphins still were looking for a running back to take pressure off Marino. Alas, Avery was not that guy. He rushed for 503 yards as a rookie – and he ran for just 21 more for the rest of his career. The Dolphins got rid of him during his second season and he got five carries with Denver that season. He later got one carry with Minnesota in 2003.
