CJ Spiller has to be up there...dude was literally unstoppable for a season and averaged 6 YPC and had almost 1700 yards from scrimmage, then never recaptured it.

 

These highlights are just mesmerizing...his speed is unbelievable at times...literally looks like Barry Sanders with some of the starts and stops...

 

Gailey might not have been much of a head coach but his ability to get players in space and his screen game were just something special to behold...

Peyton Hillis

 

Beat me to it.  Without question Peyton Hills is the poster child for this discussion.

 

Notable mentions for one year wonders I can think of:

RB - Bobby Humphrey

QB - Don Majkowski

QB - RG3

RB - Ickey Woods

QB - Our own Derek Anderson (Browns)

TE - Gary Barnridge

RB - Trent Richardson

RB - CJ Spiller

 

Browns seem to be the home of one hit wonders lol

Larry Johnson has two incredible years, 1,700 yards each season. 

 

Then he broke down.

 

Jamaal Anderson of the Falcons

 

David Boston

 

Josh Gordon had 1,600 yards in 14 games and has never been as good again

 

Mike Turner in Atlanta died out quickly - I stand corrected, he had 3x 1,000 yard seasons

 

Peerless Price

 

Case Keenum

 

Robert Griffin III

 

Justin Blackmon could have been good.

Add to this list...Matt Cassell with Chiefs when he made the Pro Bowl and threw 27 TDs against 7 INTs and Matt Flynn with GB for 4 games where he had a 124.8 QB Rating that got him a big contract in Seattle but he lost the starting job to Russell Wislon in his rookie season...

Reggie Brooks / RB / Washington Redskins - Jerome Bettis' backfield mate at Notre Dame had 1,063 yards his rookie year in 1993 averaging 4.8 per carry then vanished. Out of the league 3 years later.

Bryce Paup

Good one John. Completely forgot about Paup and how awesome he was! He did have another 9.5 sack season but nothing close to that DPOY season.
