re: Which college football player did you predict was going to shine, but didn't?

I'm not talking about 40 yard dash speed. Tall, non-blazing guys like Colston and Irvin worked out. But not enough football speed and quickness.

Mike Williams was JJ Stokes Part Deux.

Well he was far better than ol' JJ but yeah...

There's a reason Mike was always making acrobatic one-handed catches...and in hindsight - it should have been obvious - he couldn't separate from defenders unless he ran a perfect route or was going against a soft zone.

But damn, the dude started from basically day 1 as true freshman and was Freshman All-American, Pac-10 Freshman of the year and as a sophomore, 1st team National All-American.

Then he left USC and sued to get in the NFL.

Maybe another year or two in college and he gets exposed a little, who knows?

Mel Kiper had him rated as the #1 player on his draft board.
