Stemming from the badass 30 for 30 tonight on Marcus Dupree, who are some other Top Tier Athletes that may have caught the short end either during or after college? Keep it to guys who aren't frickups or douchebags.

It was interesting to see what Marcus does now as a career, so I'd be curious to know about some others after-playing days career.

I think Tommy Frazier is a good story

Not sure if these guys fit but Felipe Lopez was supposed to be great. Not so much.

Barry Sanders (even though many do consider him the GOAT). I'd love to see a 30for30 on why he retired. I think I remember watching an interview where he said it was over a misunderstanding over the phone, but they didn't go indepth

No, I am talking about Barry Sanders that was soft...he would not block and was not in on passing downs. That is what made Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith ALL-AROUND tailbacks.

Two former LSU and Ouachita Christian players...QB Sol Graves and RB Jermaine Sharpe. In 1985, Graves broke the national passing record and SHarpe was supposed to be a cant miss. Graves sat 4 years behind Hodson and played some in 1990. Sharpe was a bust.

Rick Jackson is good. What is he doing now?

Same for Sharp. I wonder what that cat is doing now?
