Your opinion most recent athletes that don't seem to get it and can't seem to avoid trouble. here's hoping this kid finally wakes up. Dorial Green-Beckham. I guess he'll enter the draft as a Missouri tiger since he never played at Oklahoma.

I don't think I'd put guys like Hernandez in this thread since they actually lived up to their potential but squandered it away soon after. Same with Gordon, who hasn't really even squandered it yet.
I hesitate to put Justin Blackmon on the list, but he might be a good candidate. Then there are basketball players like Sebastian Telfair and Tim Thomas who never progressed from what they did as high school juniors. Not legal trouble, but they definitely didn't get the difference between being a great pro and a great high school talent.

Ryan Leaf, Charles Rogers, Ruben Mateo, Jamarcus Russell, Brien Taylor, and Greg Oden off the top of my head. It's still early, but Hosmer and Moustakas both have a chance to be on that list as well.

That's not wasted talent. He never had a chance, he was glassman.
It's Lawrence Phillips for me. Big time idiot.

I think they are doing fine especially in the postseason last year.

I get it... some of my guys are better suited for a bust thread. Still a wasted talent nonetheless not of their conscious undoing.

shiiiit there was a guy from my h.s. the year behind him who 100% would've started over him IF he actually made it to campus at nebraska. he was lawrence phillips before lawrence phillips. beat a few folks down...on a basketball court of all places, never got to enroll. has spent more time in jail than his stints in the cfl or arena league. if he has procreated you will likely see his kids at the ncaa level if they are half the athlete he was. crazy story... kid witnessed his dad murder his mom

Yea, but Gordon showed he actually has the talent to be the best in the world at what he does.
And now he cant get on the field.
He is maximizing wasted talent.
All those other dudes are just supposed wasted talent or talents that didnt pan out cuz they werent that good once they went up in leagues.

But yea, I guess Gordon still has hope. Hes wasted the frick out of it so far tho
