I didn't expect Chris Duhon to play for a long time in the NBA, but it looks like he will probably have about a 10 year career in the NBA.

I also never thought Shavlik Randolph would play a minute in the NBA, yet he has managed to stick around on 10 Day Contracts, the league minimum, and things like that for the past 4 seasons. He probably hasn't made more than a million dollars any year, but he still hasn't had to go play in Europe.

Brandon Stokley

Brian Mitchell

Both very talented but never thought they'd last close to as long as they did/have in the NFL.

Well, when it comes to the NFL, it's not like there are any names I can contribute.

What makes the whole Hartline situation really hilarious in my opinon is that he started to see more playing time than Teddy Ginn.

I don't know if he is still in the NFL, but when I saw Wade Ritchie kicking for the 49rs....... I was shocked.

Randall Gay and Eric Alexander stand out to me. Gay was a nickle back in college, and Alexander was an undersized, converted LB from safety. Just shows what can happen when you catch on with a great team like the Pats were, versus a team....say....like the Raiders.

Yea, I go with Randall Gay too

his story is pretty incredible if you think about it

I also didn't think devery henderson would be as good as he's turned out to be, I thought he'd be a decent deep threat and i thought he was a really bad 2nd round pick

Will Witherspoon and while it is over now, Patrick Pass had a pretty good run with the Pats that I didnt expect.

I actually liked devery a lot coming out considering how relatively new he was to the WR position I thought his upside was great. He had a pretty damn strong senior year.

that nice 40 Gay ran back at his pro day has made him some nice money and a few rings to boot

Yea he definitely had potential, he was just so incredibly raw...I thought he coul be a good WR, but 2nd round was high, IMO

Todd McClure- 10 year starter(and counting) for a 7th round pick is pretty damn good.
