A place for NFL news, game highlights and everything that excites you about American Football.
Travis Fulgham on the Eagles for me. Granted, they were practically left with practice squad WR's at this point, but everyone was super hyped on the dude as he had like 3 or 4 weeks of pretty great play (comparatively speaking). Then he just disappeared one day, not even playing poorly, just not playing at all.
Edit: Scrolling down I see he was already named, but ah well.
Some coaches instead, John DeFillipo was supposed to be the next genius but he was an abysmal OC. The Interim HC after Gruden Steve Brescia or something. Lastly where is Joe Judge
Todd Gurley
I think about this whenever I think of early picks of the Lions. Like wtf happened to them? What is Nick Fairley, Titus Young, Mikel Leshoure, Ryan Broyles, Ziggy Ansah, Eric Ebron, Jarrad Davis, Teez Tabor, Jahlani Tavai, pretty soon Jeff Okudah, Louis Delmas, Gosder Cherilus, Kevin Smith, Cliff Avril, Ernie sims, Roy Williams, Kevin Jones, Aaron Gibson doing now?
Shit the list just goes on forever
Not so much that I didn’t know what happened with his career, but D’Andre Levy once he was finally cut from the Lions after he destroyed his knee.
He was clearly suffering from depression, writing to the local papers about being scared of having CTE, etc.
As soon as he was cut, he dropped out of the spotlight completely. And honestly, I think about him a lot.
Once was one of the best WILL linebackers in the league, and just gone in a terrible fashion.
I hope he’s doing ok
remember quincy enunwa?
sadly had to retire due to a neck injury but he does film breakdowns for the jets website which is pretty cool
Victor Cruz was a thing for like two seasons and poof he was gone.
Jeremy Shockey was like a rockstar on the Giants and once they traded him it was like he went into witness protection.
Matt Flynn was a backup who signed a big contract with Seattle after one fluke 500yd passing game for Green Bay. He lost the starting job to rookie Russell Wilson and just bounced around after.
Jay Ajayi. Exploded onto the scene taking us to the playoffs in 2016. Never heard from him again
Travis Fulgham went off for a few games for the eagles and that was that
Matt Jones
6'6" WR ran a 4.37, released because of substance abuse issues then never played again
David Johnson kind of faded into obscurity after that one good year in Arizona.
Glen Coffee lol my niners friends are always surprised I remember him. Prob b/c I used him a shit load in Madden that one year.
Toby Gerhart. Remember he was solid on the Vikings and then went to Jax and I never heard of him ever again
LaMont Jordan.
I thought that dude was going to be a stud for the Raiders for sure. He had a pretty good year, then he got injured, and that was that.
the 2015 panthers
Chris Ivory is a guy I haven’t thought of in forever. I think he had a pretty decent career.
I wonder what happened to “the law firm” (Ben Jarvis green Ellis). He didn’t fumble and ran well and suddenly… was gone.
Other than Justin Herbert, it seems like every stud out of Oregon was a bust.
Odell Thurman
Some of these answers are like “Whatever happened to Tom Brady?”
Jay Ajayi
Chris Matthews... amazing performance in the SB that shall not be named. Really thought he would be our newest wr1 for my seahawks but he practically disappeared after that
Recently I have thought about Kerryon Johnson and Kenny Golladay. They left the Lions and I have no idea where they went or how they did afterwards, I just know I never hear of them now.
Shawne Merriman was a beast before he got busted for peds +injuries.
Trey Burton comes to mind for me he was part of an amazing play with the Eagles in the Super Bowl vs New England he went to the Bears afterwards and then just disappeared after that
Phillip Lindsay had that incredible rookie season where he went undrafted to the Pro Bowl, a decent second season and the just sort of disappeared after that. I think he’s been bouncing around between the CFL and arena league the last few years.
Todd Gurley
Michael Clayton and Kendrell Bell
Ha-Ha Clinton Dix
Jake Locker
Natrone Means.
He had a decent-ish length career by running back standards but just one super notable season.
Isaiah Crowell. What happened to him?
Jamaal Charles was insane and then was gone
Only Steelers fans will remember but Barry Foster came second in mvp voting one year
Taysom Hill every season lol. But more seriously James Robinson/Philip Lindsay were the guys for two seasons and now they can’t make a roster? UDFA life is brutal.
Justin Blackmon
If this question was asked prior to yesterday. I would have said Martavius Bryant.The tandem of him and AB with Le'Veon, Heath and Big Ben along with the Steelers defense, they would've had another SB run.
Kelvin Benjamin
Phillip Lindsay, i remember being so high on him in 2019 then never heard of him again
Earl Thomas basically vanished into thin air after the Ravens cut him. The most recent news about him was yesterday when apparently his ex-wife’s BF stole money from him.
Remember 99.9% David Wilson for the Giants? He was hyped up to be a pretty high pick his 2nd season (RB16/28th overall from fantasy pros). He had fumbling issues right away and then got a season ending neck injury from my memory and had to retire.
James Robinson. Great rookie season, solid second season, then got replaced by etn and vanished overnight
Christine Michael. I know he never had great career numbers but the way he could go from 0 to 60 instantly was incredible. I remember a game when the Hawks played the 49ers back in 2016 and guys would reach out for him then turn around in shock as he was already 5 yards behind them. Surprised his career never worked out.
Peyton hillis
Dez.
Not big, but I often wonder about Dorial Green-Beckham
BJ Raji, said he was going to take some time off and then just vanished
