Before the New Orleans Saints were saved with the hiring of Sean Payton and signing of Drew Brees there was quarterback Aaron Brooks. Brooks showed potential in his brief NFL career but made one mistake that doomed him to a life of infamy. Holding a 3-4 mark seven games into the season, Brooks’ Saints were down seven points against the Chargers. On his first offensive possession, Brooks took the ball, turned around, and threw it 25 yards downfield. In the wrong direction. Unsurprisingly the Saints were blown out 43-17 that day and Brooks struggled to maintain an NFL career, retiring a few years later.

At least he didn’t throw away a Super Bowl Title like the next team on our list!
