Antonio Brown was one of the best football players I'd ever seen until he got CTE

Not biggest of alltime but Andy Katzenmoyer was a freak and a great college player but didn’t do anything in the NFL.

Wat? He had a degenerative hip issue that forced an early retirement but the dude was one of the best hitters in baseball for about a decade

High school classmate of mine. Good dude.

Sadly, I have to agree with this. Guy had talent to the moon and he got lazy and ate himself out of the league.

Your examples are shite. Just bc you are great in college and can’t hack it in the pros doesn’t make you a waste of talent. And Daly certainly doesn’t belong.

My answer would probably some member of the 1986 Mets

Belle should be a HOFer. Arguably the best player of the mid-90s when guys like Griffey and Bonds were in their primes.

For the older guys Gerry Cooney. Was a huge guy who could actually fight and punch like a wrecking ball. Alcohol. drugs, and bad management ruined his career. He had unlimited potential that was never realized.
