| re: Teammates in college: one made it in the pros; the other didn't Paul Posluszny, Sean Lee and Dan Connor. Would of bet anything that Connor was going to be an NFL great he's actually turned out to be the least productive and is probable on his last thread as an NFL player Reply • Back to Top |
| Sticking with the two RBs theme... Eric Dickerson and Craig James And for basketball, Paul Pierce and Raef Lafrentz maybe? Reply • Back to Top |

| Matt Cassel and Matt Leinart? Although Cassel kind of blows now too. Still, nobody would've seen him having a better NFL career than Leinart. This post was edited on 2/15 at 12:51 am Reply • Back to Top |

| Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts. Everybody knew Rose would be a superstar, but I thought CDR would catch on and be a solid rotation player somewhere. Is he on a roster somewhere? I could be wrong, maybe he is contributing, I just haven't heard his name in a hot minute. Reply • Back to Top |

| Turiaf was pretty fricking good in college Reply • Back to Top |

I got seduced by one of the greatest high school baseball players ever with the five star football credentials and rocket arm and wanted him to get all of the playing time at quarterback, Drew Henson. I wondered why Lloyd Carr was monkeying around with this kid Tom Brady.  Funny thing is, there were lots of signs that Brady was better at the time, it was just hard to overcome the hype.This post was edited on 2/15 at 7:18 am Reply • Back to Top |

| Elton Brand and Trajan Langdon Everyone knew Brand would be a solid pro, but Langdon was a ridiculous scorer in college. Surprised he never amounted to anything in the NBA. Reply • Back to Top |
| Shaq and Chris Jackson Grant Hill and Christian Laettner Larry Johnson and Stacy Augmon Matt Flynn and JR Reply • Back to Top |
| Flynn and JR for sure. Didn't think JR would be a star but at least noticeably better than Jason Campbell or something like that. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: CDR has had plenty of chances and has shown that he can be a quality NBA player. However, in his mind he thinks he is on the same level as someone like D. Rose; and he lets that opinion be known to anyone that will listen. He has burned so many bridges with the various teams that he's been on, that it's hard for him to get serious looks now. I think he spent a brief period of time with the Lakers this year, but got cut. This post was edited on 2/15 at 8:14 am Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
