#3 - Tyreek Hill
Tyreek Hill’s NFL career was nearly over before it began. He was charged with domestic violence during his time at Oklahoma State. They immediately released Hill, who transferred to West Alabama before being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016.
Many Kansas City fans were critical of the selection given his history, but Hill more than repaid the faith shown in him. After linking up with Patrick Mahomes, he became one of the best wide receivers in the league. He’s been voted to the last six Pro Bowls as a return specialist and wide receiver.
Hill recently completed a blockbuster trade to the Miami Dolphins, signing a four-year, $120 million extension, including $72.2 million guaranteed. This made him the highest paid receiver in the NFL.
#4 - Nate Burleson
After appearing on GMFB for the last few years, many fans have forgotten that Nate Burleson was in the NFL less than a decade ago. His reputation was damaged in 2005, after he and 16 other Minnesota Vikings players were accused of hosting a sex party on a boat. A number of Vikings players were charged, and although Burleson wasn’t among them, his reputation needed enhancing.
Luckily for him, he became part of an iconic team on the popular morning football show Good Morning Football (GMFB). He now talks about all things football in the morning, as well as doing plenty of other TV work after retiring.
#5 - Ben Roethlisberger
Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s reputation was in tatters when he was accused of two separate sexual assault incidents in 2009 and 2010.
Despite no criminal action being taken against him, the league still suspended Roethlisberger for the first four games of the 2010 season. They found that he had violated the NFL’s player conduct policy. He was also ordered to undergo a league-mandated professional behavior evaluation.
Big Ben overcame this and retired following the 2021 season as a legend of the game. Roethlisberger was voted into six Pro Bowls and led the league in passing twice. He was also a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Steelers.
