Running back Terry Underwood, who was once called a smaller version of Barry Sanders, had a promising career which ended in 1998 when he was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife, Theresa. Underwood swears he is innocent of the crime, which involved the pregnant woman being stabbed 88 times while two children slept in the next room. Despite his claim that he was coerced into making a false statement to police, Underwood was found guilty of the murder and sentenced to 60 years in prison. His appeals are pending.
