5. Sam Bradford

The number one pick Sam Bradford is known for injuries, but through three years, he had the same number of starts as the number two overall pick Trubisky. Bradford had more yards, but he was one of the few quarterbacks who took more sacks than Trubisky.

Below you can see their per-game stats. Trubisky edges him in rushing stats, the rest can be comparable, with Trubisky getting a slight nod.

Bradford had his make or break fourth-year, but got hurt. His fifth-year ended in the preseason, which is when the serious injuries started.

This also ended his stint with the Rams, showing once again how important that fourth and fifth year are.

Bradford was an NFL starter in years six and seven, and his teams went 15-16 with the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings. However, as years four and five previewed, the rest of his career was doomed by injury. Still, unlike Freeman, Leftwich, and Sanchez, Bradford had a second act.
