Wilson could have come in at No. 1 due to his first-round selection, but his career was cut short after just two seasons due to spinal stenosis. The No. 32 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft showed plenty of talent in 21 games but was forced to retire at 23-years-old. It may be unfair to call Wilson a bust, but he had to be placed on this list given his draft selection. The New York Giants have not had a 1,000-yard rusher since Ahmad Bradshaw in 2012.
