    Ki-Jana Carter… former Penn State Nittany Lions tailback who led the 1994 team to a perfect season in their second year in the Big Ten… drafter number one overall by the Bungles… was a bust due to injuries… today he is the CEO of the sanitation company BioGlobe.

    So I saw online that Ara Parseghian was forced to retire from the NFL only 2 years into his career after a hip injury. He would later go on to be the head football coach at Miami of Ohio, Northwestern and Notre Dame. He won some championships, 2 of them national championships, received some Coach of the Year awards and was inducted into the College Hall of Fame in 1980.
