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

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.

Titus Young from the lions. Was a top 50 pick and really promising most of his rookie year and then was arrested twice IN THE SAME DAY

Any Broncos RB from the 2000s

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

David Wilson. Was fun to watch his rookie year

Josh Gordon.

The man couldn't stop smoking the ganja but had an incredible season in 2012/2013ish that resulted in half the league taking a chance on him and trying to wait out his suspensions.

This thread is just a list of guys that helped you win fantasy football several years ago.

Trent Richardson - apart of two BCS nattys and considered the best running back prospect since Adrian Peterson. Might be one of the biggest busts of all time !!

Didn’t fare any better in the CFL. He played in four games for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2017 before being sidelined with a foot injury.

people don’t talk about how quickly a rob went from wr1 to forgotten. He’s only 30

49ers: Chris Borland, Glen Coffee, Kentwan Balmer, Anthony Davis. Aldon Smith would have been on it if not for that insane comeback with Cowboys a few years ago. Trent Baalke sure drafted some weirdos.

Noel Devine always gives me a laugh every time he pops up in my head.

Some Oregon legends. Dennis Dixon, Jeremiah Masoli, De’Anthony Thomas, LaMichael James. I’m surprised Darron Thomas never played in NFL?

There was a guy named Tom Bradley or something, QB from Michigan … or Brady Thomas? Can’t quite recall. I think NE drafted him in 6th round. What ever happened to him?

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

BJ Raji. IIRC, he took a hiatus and never came back?
