He was a no-hit wonder.  He was popular while he was sitting on the bench, but once he got in there he played his way out of the league, setting records for futility that still stand to this day.  Now in his defense, Marangi has stated that the season he came in after Joe Ferguson had a season ending injury, Marangi had an arm injury that limited his ability to throw.  

He came in a game against Miami and hit a couple of bombs and that was it

The first pass he threw in the NFL was a touchdown to JD Hill

Peerless Price definitely wasn't "one-hit," but he certainly had only one truly standout season back in 2002, where he had 94 receptions, 1,252 receiving yards, 9 TD's & a 63.5% catch%. 

He played opposite of Eric Moulds who had nearly identical stats that same year with 100 receptions, 1,292 yards, 10 TD's & a 55.6% catch%. 

Unfortunately for him, he never was the same again after that season, while Moulds had a productive career before & after 2002, especially considering the crappy QB's he was anchored with.

 

But yeah, not a "one hit wonder," but definitely a dude that flashed greatness, then disappeared.

Yeah, wasn't that Knox's first year?

Maybe I am not certain on that will have to check what year was Knox first and Terry’s rookie season.   He gave us visions of OJ but I thought a knee injury is what really hampered him

Does Kiko Alonso count? I know he's still in the league. But after his rookie season here, he's been average at best, but mostly not that great.

 

Actually after his first 8 games.

No because Byrd had a number of decent seasons here.

Or the 2002 draft. The Bills drafted OL Mike Williams. He was a bust, and the Bills could of had Ed Reed!

Everyone just knew that Maybin would be a bust...yet they drafted him anyway!

My uncle is a big PSU fan.  He randomly still sends me PSU articles about Maybin and what a great human being he is.  Apparently he's a school teacher now or something.  I don't care and the articles only dredge up bad memories...it's pathetic and my uncle is still apologetic about the whole ordeal...like he had something to do with it.

Please tell your uncle to give himself a break. Maybin had a good college career...sometimes you miss on a 1st rounder.

No, the Bills were the first and only to team to "get the wool pulled over our eyes" because Wilson and Brandon were in a hurry to sign him before he "exploded" and would have been more expensive.   Well, Fitzy exploded all right, just not the way that Wilson and Brandon thought he would.

 

The other teams that signed Fitzy knew what they were getting but felt he was worth it.  I'm sure that's how the Fins and their fans feel.

 

Really? He started for 6 more teams since then...

I think you'd have to throw EJ Gaines name into the ring.

 

I remember people expecting L's during that 2017 season because Gaines was out. While there was an odd disparity in the teams performance, the extrapolation that one DECENT corner made that type of impact is not really logical. Nice player, but folks got carried away with his importance.

Terry Miller was the first name to come to mind. 

 

We had several players that started excellent, got injured, and never played the same. 

 

Dennis Shaw was the Offensive Rookie of the Year, then playing for some really horrible teams.  He became a journeyman and faded away to oblivion.
