Which former tiger football player are you most suprised to not see lighting it up in the nfl?

My vote goes to skyler green.

David LaFleur (TE in mid-90's) was drafted high by the Cowboys. For whatever reasons his NFL career wasn't much to speak of.

Dorsey/Tyson - Dorsey is playing out-of-position but Tyson (even if drafted too high) should be better.

Agree with Michael Clayton and aside from Joe Addai's Super Bowl ring, he has been a little underwhelming in the NFL at times.

The biggest unfortuante surprise to me is probably Dorsey. I have read on here and elsewhere that he is playing out of position, but I really thought he was going to be a Pro Bowl type player. I hope he has at least established himself as "solid," but I just don't get to see enough of the Chiefs to know.

"Honorable" Mention has to go to JR. I thought he was overdrafted and I think I said he had something like a 30% bust factor, but I was thinking that he just might not transition easily to the NFL game and could have trouble holding on to the ball too long. So, I can't say I am entirely surprised, but I also did not see Ryan Leaf-level bust coming on, either.

As a young cowboys fan in the 90's I had high hopes for him. I didn't follow LSU at the time, but I was excited when the Cowboys drafted him.

Just didn't pan out.

Dorsey has been playing pretty well, just not on the level as he did at LSU. I will always wonder if that damn chop block from Auburn didn't hurt his whole career.

Didn't he have a back injury that limited him?

Dorsey has been pretty stout against the run, but he has not been an effective pass rusher, which an end needs to be.

Dorsey hasn't really lived up to his expectations either.

Michael Clayton. One of my favorite Tigers of all time. Really thought he'd be a Pro-Bowler.
