#4. Donnie Avery

Donnie Avery was a 2008 second round selection by the St. Louis Rams out of Houston. In his rookie season Avery would catch 53 passes for almost 700 yards and three touchdowns. He would also add a rushing touchdown the same year. Avery would be voted the Rookie of the Year for the St. Louis Rams team, a high honor that year, beating out teammate and first round selection Chris Long. Avery would go on to a mildly successful sophomore season with 47 receptions for 589 yards and five scores. However, a devastating knee injury in the preseason of 2010 would result in a lost season and his release from the franchise. Avery would go on to play for the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs. He is currently a free agent.
