Don't mean to post a negative thread, just a cautionary tale of talented prospects who looked like they could be great, but wound up as busts.
Here are a few of mine
LB Andy Katzenmoyer 1999 1st round.
I thought this guy would be the next great NFL LB. He had it all, size, speed, toughness. Former Butkus award winner at Ohio State. A thumper who could also rush the QB. Unfortunately he had a neck injury his rookie year and never really recovered.
WR Hart Lee Dykes 1989 1st round.
I thought he was gonna be the real deal. I thought he was going to be the next Al Toon (great Jet’s receiver at that time). Had 49 catches as a rookie, and that was pretty much as good as it was gonna get. Knee injuries in back to back seasons and then he was history.
RB Vegas Ferguson 1980 1st round.
I loved him at Notre Dame, and thought he was gonna be great. Had an 800+ Rookie season, but injuries and the drafting of Tony Collins basically ended Ferguson’s time as a Patriot.
What about you guys and gals, and players you thought would be stars but were busts ?
