OT Matt Kalil, first round, 2012
Kalil was a player who is considered by many to be an NFL bust.
After he was drafted in the first round by the Vikings, he had a promising rookie year where he suffered an injury late in the season. After that, he seemed to have dropped off in his play.
He attributed a poor 2017 to a hip injury he suffered in 2016, according to Bring Me The News. Carolina deciding to sign Kalil after his time with the Vikings was later called a “disastrous investment” by ESPN.
Overall, an interesting choice to have on here, given much of the narrative surrounding Kalil’s career. Honestly, I’m not really sure about why Kalil is so high up Pro Football Reference’s list.
