O. Rodney Peete, sixth round, 1989, USC/Sahuaro
Although he finished No. 2 in the 1988 Heisman balloting, Peete’s draft stock plummeted after a bad game against Notre Dame and in two postseason All-Star games. “A day that was supposed to be one of the most exciting days of my life turned out to be the most devastating,” he said. He played 16 seasons for six teams.
Life after football: He married actress Holly Peete and now stars in the TV show “For Peete’s Sake.”
