All true.

Another Heisman QB who was a massive bust - Andre Ware. The Lions managed to draft him and Barry Sanders; two Heisman guys on the same team.

Ware was pretty much a bust who couldn't throw down field that first year. Detroit used to put him in for clean up duty when they were getting blown out.

Funny enough despite the narrative of how "bad" the Lions were in Sanders' years, they made the playoffs in 1991 when they had Erik Kramer at QB replacing Ware. They even won a playoff game, something that no other Lions team managed to achieve.
