Same with Gordon, who hasn't really even squandered it yet.


He was definitely a waste of talent in college. The guy only really played one year (2010) before getting the boot from Baylor. He didn't even play at Utah.

And he has now missed like 13 games in two years because of the same issues that held him out in college.

Anytime you are nicknamed "Hot Plate", it's a good indication that you aren't working hard enough.

John Williams led LSU to the 1986 Final Four, was the 12th pick in the first round. Williams is #24.


Williams in the pros looked like this.

He was more overhyped than a waste of talent. He really only had one good year against shitty pac-10 defenses....

He could be put in the category as the dumbest of all-time though..........

David Duval

John Daly??? Hard to argue a Major winner but if he really dedicated himself to the game, what could have been?

Not so much a wasted talent, maybe more undersized and didn't translate to the NFL,
but damn I thought Chris Leak threw a HELL of a ball in college. He could spin it.
