Some that come to mind, in more or less random order...
Demtrius Byrd
Early Doucet
Alley Broussard
Labrandon Toefield
Skyler Green
Xavier Carter (oh wait he never "peaked" in the first place, j/k)
Jarvis Green
Robert Royal
Ricky-Jean Francois
Shyrone Carey
Will Arnold
Trindon Holliday
Keiland Williams
Charles Scott
And Justin Vincent... obviously

HUH???
injuries plagued some of those guys in their senior years, but you can't say they peaked prematurely
look at toefield. injuries completely threw his jr season off...why he elected to go pro i have no idea

Just because they were injured doesn't mean they didn't have disappointing premature career peaks?

Fall-off from his peak was small, but I respect your point

I assume you are talking about LSU careers, cause this fella seemed to have a peak last week...
eta - the more I think about this list the more I think its a stupid-arse list.

Production levels for each of those players peaked early, no doubt
toefield had 19 td's as a sophmore, then had an injury riddled jr year..how can you say he was disapointing?

when exactly did he peak? was it when he ran down mcfadden, but didn't make the tackle in 2007?

Let's see, going from 19 tds to no production for the rest of his career... Yea I guess you're right, that's not disappointing at all.

he got hurt, what about that are you missing? he only had 1 more year and he missed half of the season

early doucet also battled injuries his senior season, but still had 5 td's and only 2 less receptions than what he had in his best year...yeah, thats dissapointing too

how can an injury lead to a dissapointing career peak? in the case of players like shyrone carey okay...it makes sense
but it doesn't make any sense for players like toefield and will arnold
and it doesn't make sense for early doucet no matter how you slice it

just admit it, you were stat searching..found some stuff you could post about, but don't really know much about it other than the stats

I guess I meant disappointing from his hype. He peaked at Alabama in 2007 
Posted on 1/14/10 at 1:33 pm to enod01
KW and JV are the only two on that list Ill go along with.

i forgot about that
you know whats funny
i spoke with Ali Highsmith before the draft in 2008 and he said Jones was picked on all that week after the bama game b/c it was the first time all year he blitzed the correct gap
