Not only was he not All-Pro he wasn't even ever voted to a Pro Bowl, even with how everybody gets in as alternatives recently. And again, his peers have absolutely NOTHING to do with his career and how he performed. When a team drafts a guy #2 overall they expect that path and timeline I laid out earlier. Reggie wasn't even close to that.

You're also helping my point from earlier. Had he been drafted later. (2nd round or so) he wouldn't have this bust label because his production would have matched his cost/expectations of said cost. However he wasn't drafted later, he was drafted extremely high, where expectations are higher. And he failed to even come close to those expectations. (expectations of an average #2 overall pick at the time of the selection, not the expectations of USC Reggie Bush).

Like I said, you're using hindsight again, because you now know, in 2016, that many of the first rounders in 2006 would turn out to not be good. And you're using these facts to help you. That's not fair to this discussion.
