Wish Bo Jackson had not gotten hurt!!!

Len Bias
Tebow
Jason Campbell - surprised his career was as good as it was. He had 3 different O coordinators while at AU and damn near had a different one every season he was in the NFL.

Cadillac Williams.

Now I think he WOULD have had a great pro career if he hadn't been injury-cursed. Dammit.


Blame the coach...for Gruden to have spent so much time as the QB guru for ESPN he sure as hell couldn't find or coach one when he was an NFL coach. He totally destroyed Cadillac and Mike Alstott both

Percy Harvin. He had a few good years but never lived up to what he could have done.

Thought about Jimmer but heard he was kind of a douche bag.

Tyrone Prothro - Had arguably the single best catch in Alabama football history and was well on his way to being a first day draft pick before a freakish gruesome leg injury ended his playing career midway through his senior year. He was having an incredible season and had a huge game that day against Florida but never played another down of football after that

David Browndyke-- best kicker LSU ever had, seemed like a real nice guy, drafted by the Bengals but got cut in the final round, IIRC.

Speaking of special teams, gotta throw Brad Wing in there.

Based on his 2011 season, I thought he had a chance to be an excellent punter in the NFL. Must've been personal issues to derail him because he had the talent to do it.

Miles Simon is example of several wonderful college players whose injury robs them of greatness.
