Travis Henry

It is pretty much an understatement to say that Travis Henry faced some problems. He enjoyed a successful NFL career playing for the Denver Broncos, the Tennessee Titans, and the Buffalo Bills and while he never really retired from the NFL, he was “released” because of him failing drug tests several times. Then, in 2008, Henry was caught trafficking cocaine. Also, it was reported that he has 11 kids with 10 different women, and he was briefly imprisoned after failing to pay child support.

Archie Griffin

In the 1970s, one of college football’s best running backs was Archie Griffin. This would lead to the Cincinnati Bengals offering him a contract and him playing for the team from 1976 to 1982. However, unlike his performance in college football, Griffin’s showing in the NFL wasn’t that impressive, and he scored only seven touchdowns within seven seasons. He filed for bankruptcy in 1982 because of his failing shoe business.
