As an LSU board here is one we never talk about: Tyson Jackson. 3rd overall pick that never wound up getting his footing in the NFL.


Jackson was a solid starter and played 8 years in the league. He never lived up to #3 but not sure he’s exactly a bust. He signed a (ETA massive was strong) solid FA deal for the time to leave KC and go to ATL

The guy had 9 total sacks in those 8 years as a DE. Sure, he was a 34 DE in the NFL, but he wasn’t good. He was a bust, but got a second contract based on potential.

He was not Jamarcus level bust, but he definitely was one given drafted #3 and never even got close to that. Also, is one not typically talked about because both KC and ATL moved on successfully pretty fast.
