Which NFL player did you think was going to be good but turned out to be a bust?

[Magox]

I got to thinking the other day, which player did I believe was going to be a sneaky good player in the league that was a complete bust?

 

For me I was sure that Andy Isabella was going to be a good WR in this league, and he hasn't done jack squat.

Man this is hard because if they are "sneaky" good then I can't say the word bust because there wasn't a clear "sure thing" label on them. 
 

I did have hopes for Trent edwards but....... you know. And James Hardy.

Owa Odighizuwa, thought he was very talented but I guess he struggled with depression.

Right Josh. I’m certain that I was not alone in my expectations.

Of Bills players they drafted… Sammy Watkins I’m the first to admit after watching him beat Ohio State himself I thought The Bills had a true once every 5 years kinda receiver. Didn’t work out that way.

 

The league… there’s been so many but I’d go with Peter Warwick from Florida State for people old enough to remember him.

Robert Nkemdiche men amongst boys at Ole Miss.   Thought he was going to be a perfect 3-4 End in the league. 

 

Thought for sure Jalen Reagor was going to turn out.  His game tape at TcU was incredible.

I thought Reggie Bush was going to be a new version of Tomlinson. Boy was I incorrect. 
 

JP Losman I was sure would be our new JK12. Yeesh. 

[Ben]

Mayfield for me.

[Shortchaz]

Clowney

Somebody mentioned him in a thread the other day…Taylor Mays, safety. He seemed like a lock coming out of college.

Brian Bozworth, he was an animal in college, pros he was an ordinary joe

Troy Williamson. I think I was influenced by his madden attributes. 

[CoudyBills]

Keiwan Ratliff.  Thought he was going to be a stud.

[JPPT1974]

Bosworth, Leaf, Shuler, JaMarcus Russell, among the few.

[Doc Brown]

Charles Rogers.  Unbelievable talent.  Still don’t know what happened.

[BarleyNY]

Courtney Brown. I thought he’d be a monster for years. Injuries and playing on a terrible Browns team did him in.

I swear this board has some kind of fetish for undersized white slot receivers
