He was a star at Alabama and ran a 4.93 at 319 lbs! He lived up to his draft status his first four years in the league, culminating in 2014, with his second Pro Bowl and first All-Pro appearance. He got paid and became unmotivated. Impossible to predict, and impossible to pass on a guy like that. I hate Whaley and even I won't bash him for drafting Dareus. Dareus was still a solid player even phoning it in he still was a good NFL run stuffer. That shows you just how insane a physical talent he was to still be a starting caliber DT with little motivation.

Haynesworth also fell into the wrong situation. With the Titans Schwartz built the system around him wrecking havoc in the middle. Haynesworth was allowed to freelance and just go out and be a physical freak on the Titans. With the Redskins he was asked to do more and work within a scheme and he didn't know how or care to do that. So Haynesworth really got hit both ways losing motivation and playing in the wrong system/team.
