3. Eric Dickerson

Eric Dickerson was a six-time Pro-Bowler and a five-time All-Pro during his career with the Rams and Colts.

Like Joe Horn, though, Dickerson was well past his prime once he made his way to the Atlanta Falcons.

At the age of 33 coming off a season where he rushed for 729 yards and two touchdowns with the Raiders, Dickerson was traded to Atlanta.

Things did not go well.

He played in just four games- started two- and rushed 26 times for 91 yards and no touchdowns. Dickerson would later be traded to the Packers, but would ultimately retire without ever playing for Green Bay.

Dickerson’s short stint is one of the shortest-lived existences in Atlanta for a multiple-year All-Pro in the history of the franchise.
