13. Freddie Mitchell, WR, 25th pick in 2001

A star at UCLA, the Philadelphia Eagles passed on all-time greats like Steve Smith, Reggie Wayne, and Chad Johnson to draft Mitchell.

Mitchell was a complete bust in the NFL and of the collegiate wideouts who’ve been drafted in the first round since 2001 and are no longer playing, only eight had fewer career catches than Mitchell.

Mitchell was out of the NFL after the Eagles 2004 Super Bowl appearance.
