Ron Rivera's final tragic draft tale centered on selecting slender cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr at No. 16 overall in 2023. He barely made it into his second season with the Washington Commanders before new general manager Adam Peters cut this experiment short.

It was a slow burn initially from Forbes.
