4.3 speed, 36in vert. Ridiculous deep ball threat at UM. And going into the league with Marino throwing to him? I personally thought it was game over...

As the years went on they began to refer to him as "Potato Chip"

Yatil Green

I used to think Him and E.G. Green from FSU were brothers....

Green never lived up to his potential in the NFL, as his career was cut short by several knee injuries which also hampered him in college. After the draft, Jimmy Johnson compared Green favorably to Michael Irvin due to his size and speed; however on the very first day of training camp, Green tore his quadriceps muscles, anterior cruciate ligament and cartilage in his right knee. Green came back the next year and again tore the same ACL in training camp.

My dude Tshimanga! Thank you for rushing for 300 yards against OSU in '95 so that my Northwestern Wildcats could go to the Rose Bowl.

I think I gotta go with Ron Dayne though.

I feel you, I still have hope for the guys but it's lost hope at the same time.

Ryan Leaf like guys above said. You guys are brining back names where I would be hyped to see play on ESPN, now I can't even remember then.

I'm suprised no one mentioned David Carr after reading through this post.

He would have been a better full time full-back.

 

[wstcoastgotti]

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

What the hell?

Broke every Dolphins rookie rushing record... 16 TD's in a season, then completely fell of, out of the league in 3 years

 

[am 1 fiend]

All the bust I can think of have been named so far

 

[gingersaintbad]

Cadillac is a bust because he was taken relatively high in the 1st round, and now after a SHORT career messed up by injuries, his career is likely over. TheDR's said with regards to his knee that it is very hard to recover from that type of knee damage and it is likely that he will never regain theexplosiveness he had. Therefore IMO he is a bust

 

[kixofrinic]

rashan salaam

 

[s0lehunter]

robert gallery, all the experts said he was the safest draft pick

 

[minus28]

being a lions fan im going to say Joey "Sunshine" Harrington, Charles rogers, and mike williams.

 

[vctry20]

yeah joey harrington

and all the hype the school built up around him with the billboards all over the country

6 years in and nothing to show
