Question
What do these four players have in common: Andre Rison, Brett Favre, Ron Johnson, Randal Hill? There have been a few Ron Johnsons in the league, so to clarify, here I'm talking about the Ron Johnson who was a 1,000-yard rusher with the Giants in the '70s. Hill was a wide receiver who played his college ball at the U.
Answer
These four players were all drafted with first- or second-round picks, then wound up with new teams in their second year. And each of these players in their second seasons finished with top-20 numbers at their positions. The question came about when poking around with numbers following Tennessee's decision to trade away Isaiah Wilson. A late first-round pick, he was supposed to replace Jack Conklin at right tackle, but Wilson hardly played as a rookie and annoyed the coaching staff. They decided to cut their losses with him, sending him to Miami for a late-round pick.
