For a while I thought Chris Borland was gonna be the next great 49ers LB
NFL
A place for NFL news, game highlights and everything that excites you about American Football.
I think D’onta foreman any time before like 2010 is an mvp caliber running back.
Could you imagine what Julio Jones would’ve been without all the nagging injuries?
Willie Thrower could have been up there with the best of them with the right coaching
Percy Harvin
I would love to peak into the timeline where Wentz didn't get injured. Do we still win it all? Does he win MVP?
Sam Bradford, Teddy Bridgewater, Antonio Brown, RGIII, Josh Gordon
Kijana Carter. Dude was going to singlehandedly run the Bengals to multiple Superbowls, I know it!
I thought Lofa Tatupu was on a HOF trajectory but the injuries just kept piling up.
Sterling Sharpe. It was so dominant in his prime. I always thought that he was better than Jerry Rice.
Peyton Hillis. Guys a hero too
Reuben foster
One that comes to mind recently is Jason Verrett.
Dude was a 1st round pick and just got the most brutal series of injuries. He's only had 2 seasons where he's played more than 6 games. The one full season he played with the Niners (14 games) he made the pro-bowl.
Next season like week 1, ACL.
I think he's signed to Houston's pracrice squad, but to be CB is tough enough...with 2 surgically repaired knees and a surgically repaired Achillies at 32 years old...could be tough.
Just a shame though, dude could have been a top CB in the league for years had he been healthy.
Always thought RG3 could have been great but unfortunately the Redskins had nothing but him at the time a drove him into the ground
Dominick Davis RB Texans- was a monster recording 1300+ yards each season for his first 3 years in the league- and then poof his career ended.
Joe Delaney. Literal hero.
Obligatory Bob Sanders
Jason Pierre Paul. He was crazy good until he blew his fingers off with fireworks.
Johnny Knox
David Wilson from the Giants
JK Dobbins 😭
Aaron Hernandez. Could have been an all-time unstoppable TE duo with Gronk. Showed flashes of greatness together.
Sadly, gangs and murder and CTE combined to erase that brief brilliance on the field.
JaMarcus Russell
Justin Fields. It's not over, but getting drafted by the Bears put him way behind. I hope he can figure it out or find a place to thrive.
Dennis Pitta felt like he was developing into an all-star TE. The chemistry he developed with Flacco during the years around the Super Bowl was incredible...Then the career ending hip injury happened.
I’m still a Pacman truther.
While he had a good career and great numbers, I truly believe Brandon Marshall would have been something special if he was able to stay in a more consistent situation, even if that wasn’t Denver. He always stated he wanted to stay in Denver and the whole Josh McDaniels situation really sent his career down a different trajectory
TE Dennis Pitta - The last few years before his career ending hip injury, he had great chemistry going on with Flacco.
Martavis Bryant if not for the stupid weed rules. Glad he is getting a second chance
Aaron Hernandez could have been a hall of famer if not for one bad night.
Percy Harvin had speed agility strong upper body to go through tackles legs that never really quick and just a general high IQ for his position.
I think it would have been fun to watch LaMarcus Russel throw a football to Jupiter for 10 years.
Quincy Enunwa if not for having multiple neck injuries
Tim Tebow! Just for the 😂, a bittersweet kind of a reminder of a time when my Florida Gators were good and contending for the CFB Natty...
