Greg Blue for Georgia. Hard hitting safety. Thought he'd play in the league. Never did.

Former Mav Josh Howard. But he enjoyed street racing too much.

Sam Montgomery, obvious reasons.

Michael Clayton's career was a damn shame especially after a near 1200 yard rookie season.

Vernon Gholston - Ohio State/Jets: freakish, ripped athlete who was awesome/unstoppable in college, but below average/bust in the NFL

Braylon Edwards - Michigan/Browns: I was never a huge fan of his at UM, because I thought he dropped a TON of easy balls, which would have altered some big games, but he had all the measurables and talent to at least have a long, solid career.

Honestly. JR Towles of the astros. Dude killed minor league pitching. Killed major league pitchers for a minute, then fell off a cliff. Side note, he holds the record for most rbis in a game for the Astros organization. I think it's 8 or 9 in one game.

Chris Brown 3B Padres

I thought he was going to be a star after his rookie year.

Never Nervous Pervis Ellison after his run at Louisville I thought he'd have a good career in NBA, but he did not/

Two of the ill-fated Lions WR draft picks-- Charles Rogers and Mike Williams.

Amobi Okoye--still trying to break back into football. Shockingly still only 29. Hasn't played in an NFL regular season game since 2012

I'm obviously projecting at this point but RG3. He was the #2 pick and had a great rookie year and led the Redskins to a division title. Shanahan broke him and he lost the starting job and now he's on to Cleveland, which is never a good thing for a QB. It's still possible for him to have a long career, but it almost certainly won't follow the trajectory I thought it would
