There are many forgotten players in the history of the NFL, which needless to say is the case for many an NFL team.  This is especially true if that franchise relocates.

T.Y. Hilton is still with the Indianapolis Colts as of this writing, which is to date the only NFL team that he ever played for.  He started as a special teams player, but his play and injuries to his teammates moved him to a featured position on the Colts offense, punctuated by five 1,000 Yard years, and the Receivining Yards title in 2016 (1,448).  To date, he has been named to four Pro Bowls and has over 9,000 Yards and counting, though based on his last two seasons, Hilton is in decline.  

Regardelss, of his best years being behind him, Hilton will go down as one of the top Wide Receivers in franchise history.

Exit Peyton Manning.  Enter Andrew Luck.

Everybody knew that Andrew Luck was going to be the first overall pick in 2012 as it was widely believed that the Stanford superstar was going to be a difference-maker in the National Football League.  The Colts, who had Peyton Manning, had to watch their stud Quarterback sit out that year resulting in Indianapolis having a terrible year and drafting #1 overall, which of course led to Luck donning the horseshoe.  How appropriate is that?

LeBron James' mother's favorite player (allegedly) played in Cleveland for two and a half seasons, where he would average 10.3 Points per Game.  West primarily played at Shooting Guard and had many clutch shots early in his Cavs tenure, most notably a game-winning shot against the Washington Wizards in the 2008 playoffs.  West's shooting slipped in 2009/10, and he would be shipped off to Minnesota who would subsequently waive him.
