Cincinnati Football: Who are the biggest NFL Draft busts in Bearcats history?
Bowie was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the 4th round of the 2007 NFL Draft but had to miss his entire rookie season due to a knee injury.
Following an injury-riddled rookie campaign, Bowie never found his footing in the NFL and was eventually waived by the Raiders in 2009.
Jolitz was picked by the Cincinnati Bengals in 1974 and appeared in 12 games in his rookie season but never played in the NFL after that.
Robinson signed a multi-year deal with the New York Giants in 2012 before being waived three years later after posting just 50 receiving yards.
