I'll add another one. I thought Trent Dilfer was going to be a really good pro as well. He made one of the prettiest throws I've ever seen in college.

Josh Johnson. Senior year he had something absurd like 40 TDs to 2 INTs.

Byron Leftwich. Toughest quarterback I've ever seen.

My pick is out there. I didn't necessarily think he would be a star, but at least a serviceable QB. Andre Woodson from Kentucky. His last 2 years in college were outstanding, and I thought he would at least still be in the league.

I'll also throw Ronald Powell out there, in addition to DaQuan Bowers and the Clemson DE that tragically died -- yes, I'm a sucker for freak athletes that play DE.
It's a shame he had the knee issues, he was dominant in college... And Gaines Adams was a tragedy for sure. Hate to see something like that happen to players.

Too bad for the Tampa Bay Buccs, they ended up with both of them...

I also thought Dan LeFevour was going to be good in the NFL but he got Bungal disease. He's the Ti-Cats QB now.

I honestly don't have any. Jamarcus I had hopes for, but thought was over drafted.

If rg3 or Manziel become long term big timers then I'll be surprised.

Not shocked that he didn't make it.

Wow, every QB that has been mentioned except Jamarcus I thought was going to be a bust. Mine is Sam Bradford.

I thought playing under Weis was going to have a huge impact in getting them ready for the pros. I mean they did look pretty good in college as well.
