One interesting category someone might find is players who were "on the verge" of greatness and were injured or otherwise couldn't play, per above.

Judas Priest was still touring in '92??
Yes, Judas Priest was still actively touring in 1992, although it was the year Rob Halford left the band, which marked the end of the Halford era for a period. While Halford left the band, they continued to tour

Jamal Lewis
I'd put him in the "run over you" category.

He's a guy whose production, while good, didn't match the eye test.  He benefits from his NFL exploits in the general consciousness.

He ran by plenty as well. 

And he shared a backfield with Travis Henry, and Travis Stephens. 

His stats were down after blowing out his knee his sophomore year in game 5, and took all of his junior year to get going again. 

Still managed to be the 5th overall pick.

Metcalf had 125 receptions, which is a lot.
THE forgotten Horn RB is Roosevelt Leaks, from the mid-70s.  1000 yard season, 1400 yard season, but then must've gotten hurt his SR season.

I think that, combined with Campbell coming up next, makes him sort of lost to history. 

Between the both of them, UT was signing some hombres...




Yeah Metcalf was also a pretty good return man.  He was very versatile and a bright star in some otherwise dark days for Texas football.

And my parents really liked Roosevelt Leaks.  He was slightly before my time, my earliest memories of UT football were all about Earl Campbell, but my folks remember what Darrell Royal said about Leaks when someone mentioned that he always seemed to get up slow after a tackle.  Royal said, "that's okay, he goes down slow, too."
