LeBryan Nash was the most dominant high school player I've ever seen. Was pretty average at Oklahoma State. I watched him dominate in an exhibition full of talent. A lot of that talent was better than him at the next level.

I thought Kelley Washington from Tennessee was a beast and way better than Stalllworth


From what I heard he had it coming to him after making a pack with Stallworth to leave at the same time. Gave him a head fake and stayed. Stallworth didn't say much but wasn't happy.

How long is considered 'long' in the NFL? He was in the league for 7-years. I know that's definitely above average, if anything, I feel as though he underproduced


Edwards played 8 years in the NFL. Almost as bad as your josh Howard choice

Jeff Francour. He has stayed around the league for awhile, but never really reached the potential he displayed in his early years. I thought he had the ability to be a perennial all-star.

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.

Chris Brown 3B Padres


He popped up on the national news a few years back, he was a working as US contract worker in Iraq during the war.

Side note he was little league teammates with Eric Davis and Darryl Strawberry.

Lars Tate. Great RB for UGA who I thought would have been a productive back in the NFL.

if he doesn't play football, he's my pick as the individual most certain to be a hof in my lifetime ... always started hot but faded with his ba, but it kept getting deeper into the season before he faded ... bo could've been mays and ricky henderson combined at baseball, imo ...

Howard played for 10 or 11 seasons in the NBA and made an all star team. I think he did okay.



I'll pick Greg Oden. Definitely thought he was going to be a beast.

Peter Warrick comes to mind. Mega bust that was a huge star in college. Outshined Vick in the National title game, top 5 pick, got beat out by a 7th rounder.. I thought he would be solid at worst, kind of like R. Bush..
