I don't recall San Diego ever winning a Superbowl. Humphries has a ring from when he was Mark Rypien's backup at Washington.

Dude couldn't BUY a field goal, then goes to the pros and nails a tone. Man that pissed me off.




Wide Rightey

Always had the leg, but no ST coaching. Guy in NFL gives him a couple of pointers and BAM he's a good kicker in the pros.

Humphries started out at LSU. Was same or a yr behind Wickersham. Stan transferred to NLU. Started a SB as QB for the Chargers (but they didn't win).

Ricky Jean Francois was a borderline bust at LSU but is still in the NFL.

Rohan had NO chance to start because of some Michigan bust named Tom Brady being the starter. Well, Rohan wind up winning two Superbowl rings out the deal.

A 5 year NFL career is very solid. I agree.

Oh wow, I never realized that.

Did he play preseason for the Browns? I couldve sworn I've seen him play in a Browns uniform.

And yes I know Rohan played preseason as well.

Yeah, he's had a solid career.

Using Matt Flynn logic, he's practically in the Hall of Fame.

Based on his LSU career production alone, I am truly shocked that Russell Shepard has made the TB 53 man roster for 2 years.


biggest coaching fail in history was with this kid...one of the best athletes we have ever recruited and Miles wasted his arse...another reason i cant stand him and I am praying that michigan takes him off our hands....

please dear lord baby jesus, i pray that Michigan offers les miles the Head job and that he goes. Amen...

Not technically a "decent" NFL career, but I don't think anyone would have predicted that Raion Hill would have started 13 NFL games.

And as for Randall Gay, I don't think anybody who was paying attention would have predicted that he would have had a better career than Travis Daniels.

The ALL-TIME guy for this category imho is DE Kenny Davidson. He was a pretty minor player at LSU,but had crazy-good measurables, got drafted in the Second Round (we were all like wtf who is this guy ) of the 1990 Draft by the Steelers and played seven pretty productive years in the NFL, including over 50 starts.

Back in the day Eugene Daniel was kind of the Demetrius Hookfin of his era. Went on to have a looooong pro career.
