Dee Milliner

Every story has its failures.  Milliner was chosen by the New York Jets in 2013, and simply hasn’t been able to get on the field enough to show his value.  After an injury plagued career at Alabama, Milliner has not been able to avoid the injury bug after hitting the big time in Gotham.  He started 12 games in 2013, and showed flashes, posting three interceptions following the arrival of Ed Reed.

But it hasn’t continued.  Since 2013, he has only been active for eight games, starting only two.  Milliner simply can’t stay healthy, and goes down as one of the Jets’ many draft busts over the years.
