Henry Ruggs III

The dude had such a bright future, and he threw it all away drunk driving.

Michael Clayton. He had one of the best rookie seasons ever and was barely heard from again!

What happened to Raiders CB Asomugha? He was a SHUTDOWN machine.

Am i the only 1 hoping the jets pick up tannenhill from the titans to start over wilson?

Hmmmm. This answer isn’t really what you’re after, but Braylon Edward’s would be one. One of the best college WRs ever and puts up 17 tds only to never come close again. He was out there looking like megatron at one point (before cj). Josh Gordon for obvious reasons. Justin Blackmon I could see a mile away. I kept saying any ncaa prospect that has racked up multiple duis is most likely an alcoholic (inability to stop despite repercussions) and wouldn’t ya know, he was a severe alcoholic. There’s way more flashes in the pan tbh. I can’t think.

I’d say Alfred Morris and Justin Blackmon. When’s the last time you thought about either of those guys? Both were beasts, until they ceased to exist in the league.

Daryl Washington. Really good LB, but got suspended for substance abuse iirc and never came back.

James Robinson.

Matt Jones. Converted from QB to WR and looked promising, but then poof 💨

[–] Bobb18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

David Wilson. Was fun to watch his rookie year

[–] The_Flexicutioner@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sean Lee. He was like having a second defensive coordinator on the field and had all the heart you could want out of a guy. I’m still sad his career never really took off due to injuries.

aldon smith

[–] Xatron7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kenny Golladay. I know what happened to him but he still went from being nicknamed Babytron to not playing in NFL games in one year

[–] Kap101@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a Bucs fan I thought we found a hidden gem in Jacquies Smith back in 2014 and that he’d be the cornerstone of our defense for years.
