Brad Wing, Braysus, and Will Hill from a couple years ago come to mind

What are some other big names?

Chris Faulk went from a potential 1st round pick prior to his injury to an UFA.

And if he had stayed and played well, he would've 100% been drafted and probably in the top 4 rounds IMO.

He will get paid, teams realize his potential and will make more to rehab for one year than most of us make in a year. Probably will only get like 50k signing bonus and a non-guaranteed contract for about 100-250k with a team expecting him to contribute next season.

His contract will have a ton of incentives tied into future playing time and what not


Wilkerson tore up his knee in bowl game, went undrafted and still signed 2 year 525k contract

Geathers. He comes from a long line of terrible decision makers

One more year playing healthy and he is a potential early rounder and at worst mid rounder. I don't know the numbers but that has to be a lot more money. I wish him the best but it was a poor decision (for now at least)

I hope he does well. It is a big if, but if he would have come back and been successful, he could have risen his stock much higher.

I think his brother declared early and went undrafted also. I remember Jeremy (because of his father, Jumpy) signing with the Saints as an UDFA.

Not true, he will be able to test FA sooner than any player drafted in early rounds. With rookie scale he has potential (if he comes back 100%) to make more money sooner.

Man, this guy really didn't live up to the hype.

Anyone remember Darrell Scott? Top RB in the country coming out of California (2008 maybe?) that signed with Colorado, then tried transferring to UCLA before ultimately going to USF. Declared early for the draft and wasn't picked. What a bust.
