Great players from 1995-Current to never win playoff game
Just wondering who are some of the great players from the past 15 years that either have played then and recently retired or near retirement that have either never won a playoff game or made the playoffs?
One player that comes to my mind is steven Jackson although not the end of his career but has been the leader of his team yet has never won a playoff game in his career and really wish him a chance to win a playoff game before he retires

Tony Gonzalez has never won a playoff game. That should change this year though.

Unless they magically get the NFC West winner I think the Falcons will lose their first game.

Champ Bailey won in the playoffs, he beat the Pats when Ben Watson caught him from behind on the most amazing play I have ever seen.

I'm very confident we beat either the Packers or Seahawks. I'm fairly confident we would beat the Saints or Bears. The only team that really scares me are the Eagles, Vick coming back to the Dome to beat us in the playoffs seems like too good of a story not to happen.

First player to come to mind is Ricky Williams, but can't remember back to his early Saints days, but I don't recall any playoff success.
Some of these aren't great, but pretty good: Steven Jackson, Frank Gore, Kellen Winslow Greg Jennings & Clinton Portis
Did Barry Sanders ever win a playoff game? That's a bit before my time.

Just one in 1991 v Dallas, which still stands as Detroit's only playoff victory since 1957.
It featured one of his finest and most famous runs ever at 2.42

+++rep for finding a way to work in a 4 minute Barry Sanders highlight video.
I know I'm partial, but Tony Gonzalez, as of right now, is easily the best player of the last 15 year to not win a playoff game. He is statistically the best TE ever, sure fire HoFer and he has never been a playoff winner. It's really sad. He was on some really good Chiefs teams, but never had enough defense to make him a winner.

Julian Peterson has won a playoff game. He was on the Niners in 02 when they came back to beat the Giants for the franchise's last playoff win.
Lee Evans has never been in the playoffs, though.

Not exactly... he had his first non-losing season, but still hasn't had a winning season.
Gonzalez certainly is the "greatest" player that comes to mind on this criteria.

I don't think Evans is worth mentioning, but I always felt bad for Schobel ans Spikes might be even worse. Just sucks that a total team guy like Schobel goes a decade in the same place getting nowhere.
