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.

That catch against Notre Dame in the end zone!! Basically ended Matt Millen's GM career.

Jimmy Clausen

Yea, he was a douche, but his junior year at Notre Dame was one of the best individual passing seasons I thought I'd ever seen from a college quarterback.

Guess it turned out that having Michael Floyd, Golden Tate, and Kyle Rudolph as your top three targets will make you look a lot better than you really are.

I'm pretty sure he was on a roster last year and played some games.

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/

Personally, I always felt that he didn't really get a fair shake to be a starter.
