       It's hard to find a comparable situation to Dante Fowler, the
       third pick of the draft who suffered a season-ending knee injury
       in his first practice after the draft.
       Fowler, the Jacksonville Jaguars' new pass rusher out of the
       University of Florida, was drafted third overall just eight days
       before tearing his ACL in an offseason practice. ESPN's Adam
       Schefter confirmed the extent of the injury. Fowler is done for
       the season.

       Running back Ki-Jana Carter, the first pick of the 1995 draft by
       the Cincinnati Bengals, tore his ACL on his third carry of his
       first preseason game. At least he made it to the preseason.
       According to ESPN, via Elias Sports Bureau, Carter was the last
       top-three pick to not play the season after he was drafted
       because of injury. Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Aaron
       Taylor tore his ACL in his third practice of rookie minicamp
       after he was the 16th pick of the 1994 draft. He missed his
       rookie season.
       Let's just say what happened to Fowler is incredibly rare for an
       elite draft pick.
       It's a horrible break for a Jaguars franchise that could use
       some luck. The Jaguars have had four straight double-digit loss
       seasons, went 3-13 last year and now will go through this season
       without the player they picked third overall to boost the pass
       rush.
