There are way too many variables to come up with this conclusion. You have to breakdown whether it was a great starter, average starter, a guy who wasn't good enough to stay in the league after a few years, a guy already declining in his career, the age of the injury, the level/dedication of the rehab they went through etc....
Here is a list of players that tore their ACL and had fine careers after:
- Tom Brady
- Gronk
- Thomas Davis tore his 3 times.
- Von Miller
- Eric Berry
- Tyrann Mathieu
- Adrian Peterson
- Reggie Wayne
- Julian Edelman
- Darren Sproles
- Dalvin Cook
- Allen Robinson
- Darrell Revis
- Willis McGahee
- Nick Bosa posted 15.5 sacks a year after his ACL tear.
This is just the NFL and many of these I had to check from years back. There are still other athletes from other sports that recovered well.
There are too many factors to have a legit conclusion.
Jameson Williams tore his ACL in January (4 months ago) and was still a top 15 pick.
