Ki-Jana Carter was a spectacular physical specimen whose body decayed in the NFL. The 5-foot-10, 225-pound Carter, drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals out of Penn State first overall in 1995, endured a rash of debilitating impairments. The 1995 Rose Bowl MVP, who carried the ball 319 times for 1,144 yards and 20 touchdowns over 59 games in the league, retired after getting released by the Green Bay Packers in July 2002. The 45-year-old Carter recovered from his disappointing football career and established a Davie, Florida-based promotional company called ByoGlobe in 2008. ByoGlobe has garnered superb online reviews and remains a profitable enterprise.
