NFL Draft: 30 worst first-round picks of the 21st century

The 2011 NFL Draft was ridiculously stocked with talent. Many of the players taken in that draft are still huge stars today. Players like Cam Newton, Von Miller, Julio Jones, Tyron Smith, Cameron Jordan and J.J. Watt were all available. With so much talent, it was hard to whiff, especially for a team drafting in the top 10. However, the Tennessee Titans found a way to do just that.

Washington quarterback Jake Locker was supposed to be the next big thing, and could have even been the No. 1 overall player taken in 2010 had he elected to leave college that season. He stayed and fell slightly, but was still expected to be a star.

A dual-threat player, Locker excited with his legs and arm for the Huskies, but seemed like a player that just didn’t have his heart in it at the NFL level. He played four seasons for the Titans and completed just 57.5 percent of his passes while never playing more than 11 games in a season.

Locker had 4,967 career passing yards with 27 touchdowns and 22 picks, while adding another five touchdowns and 644 yards on the ground. At the age of 26, and after a record of 9-14 as a starter, Locker called it quits as he finally admitted he didn’t want to play football anymore. This seemed like a case of a team not making sure the guy they heavily invested in was all-in on the game.
