Am i the only one who felt like Michael Turner just dissappeared from the Falcons? Like I never remember hearing him retire.

He played one game with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL in 2015. Didn’t even get a tackle. He played with the Barcelona Dragons of the European League of Football in 2022.

Vic Beasley. Lead the league in sacks, then gets hurt the next year and relegated to the XFL like 2 years after that.

I was legitimately wondering what Josh Gordon was up to these days, earlier in the season.

Malcolm Mitchell

Dude was so good for the pats for a little while, then disappeared off the face of the earth. The current WR group is making me miss anybody who could catch…

Shaun Alexander stands out to me as a Seahawks fan as someone who (at the time) went from seemingly one of the best ever to injured and ineffective and quickly out of the league. In hindsight I think he was probably kinda overrated, but it’s still a sharp decline.

I still remember a hot minute when it looked like the Chiefs had plucked an all-pro corner from the 49ers with Marcus Cooper. Monster first year with the team then never heard from again.

Muscle hamster. I don’t even remember his real name.

Michael Clayton on the Bucs. Went from 1200 yards and 7 TDs as a rookie to constantly getting hurt and never getting remotely close to those numbers again.

Henry Ruggs III

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

Tevin Coleman

Tre Mason is a good one. He went crazy.

[–] Yeetpinappl@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Todd Gurley

[–] ReverendRGreen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cam Newton, considering where he was in 2015. MVP, Super Bowl and injuries.

[–] fro223@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What ever happened there?!?!

[–] Ranier_Wolfnight@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nnamdi Asomugha.

Guy was a shutdown corner at one point. And then, just didn’t feel like it anymore.

This thread and all the replies are an advertisement by the NFL to stop paying your RBs

Phillip Lindsey. Went from undrafted to pro-bowl and disappeared after leaving the Broncos.

I blame Shurmur for ruining the run game in Denver.
