Boasting the size (6'3", 213 lbs.) coupled with enough speed to warrant being the eightth overall pick, Terrell is a guy who's a little harder to peg as to what went wrong. Prior to being drafted he posted nearly 1,000 yards with 13 touchdowns in 2000 at Michigan, so he should have been able to translate at least a portion of that success to the NFL level.
In his four seasons with the Bears, he never topped 700 yards or four touchdowns. He has attempted several comebacks, most recently with the Denver Broncos in 2007.
Was it a simple case of a lack of desire? Help me out here Bears fans, I've not been able to come up with a clear cut reason why he fizzled so badly...nor can I remember. I can find no data on any real serious injuries, nor any off-field issues such as chemical abuse.
Regardless, he belongs on this list. The Bears could have had a solid CB (Nate Clements, who went 21st) or RB (Deuce McCallister, who went 23rd, and gotten a good five years of production minimum at either position.
