Here is another one. Who turned out way better as a pro then in college? Clark and Hunter come to mind first. Clark was one of the worst safeties at LSU since I watched them. That 2001 secondary got passed on before passing was thing. Plus, he was coached by Saban so you would think that would have helped him. No way did I ever think he was a 10-year NFL starter and would make a Pro Bowl. I knew Hunter had talent but honestly you would have expected his and Mingo's NFL careers to be flipped.

I swear, sometimes I think I'm in an alternate universe where I dream that DW isn't a pro-bowl LB who lead a super bowl winning defense.

And then I shake out of it and realize I'm reading some of the horseshite on TR.

Sure, subjective, but about as accurate as you’re gonna get.

Unless you’d rather Steven A Smith chime in…

Good call-I think people forget how good a pro he was. Once he got the starting LB slot, he never missed a game and always got his tackles. Dude had a very good NFL career.

Let me add Eric Martin. Long time solid possession receiver for Hebert down in NOLA.

I screen shot your reply and sent it to Leonard and told him he was getting some love on Tigerdroppings and he replied, "Thanks for sharing".
