#43 - Vagas Ferguson, RB Just remember what I said when I started this series; the Patriots only became good recently so some of the best players would not really be all that great (but I can guarantee you that it will get even worse). Ferguson was a, you guessed it, first round pick by the Patriots in 1980, coming from the most storied college football program in Notre Dame. Cue the music! Ferguson had a decent rookie year rushing for over 800 yards, but only two touchdowns. His second season saw his yardage dip to 340 yards and after his sophomore season, he accumulated only five yards on the ground. Not a star in the NFL, but he was a star at Notre Dame. He finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1979 and is third in Notre Dame history in total yards gained by a running back with 3,472 yards.
