Though Leinart had the more impressive college career, no Heisman winner has disappointed more than Ware. Ware lit up the scoreboard in 1989, throwing for 4,699 yards and 46 touchdowns en route to becoming the first black quarterback to win the award. He was picked by the Lions with the No. 7 overall pick in the 1990 draft, with Detroit hoping to form a dynamic duo between Ware and the 1988 Heisman winner, running back Barry Sanders.
Visions of the franchise succeeding with those two never materialized. In four years with the Lions, Ware played in just 14 games. He made six career starts and finished with 1,112 passing yards, five touchdowns and eight interceptions. His inability to secure a starting job for any significant amount of time earns him the title of biggest Heisman bust in modern NFL history.
