Lamont Jordan
Drafted by the Jets in 2001, running back Lamont Jordan was stuck behind star Curtis Martin for four years before signing with the Raiders in 2005 and finally getting a chance to start. He made the most of it with almost 1,600 total yards, 11 total touchdowns, and 70 receptions, the latter a season high among running backs. Over the next two years in Oakland, knee and back injuries and the emergence of Justin Fargas cut his production in less than half, and short stints with the Patriots and Broncos were even less successful.
