Magox Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I got to thinking the other day, which player did I believe was going to be a sneaky good player in the league that was a complete bust? For me I was sure that Andy Isabella was going to be a good WR in this league, and he hasn't done jack squat. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goin Breakdown Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Man this is hard because if they are "sneaky" good then I can't say the word bust because there wasn't a clear "sure thing" label on them. I did have hopes for Trent edwards but....... you know. And James Hardy. Edited April 21, 2023 by Goin Breakdown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Of Bills players they drafted… Sammy Watkins I’m the first to admit after watching him beat Ohio State himself I thought The Bills had a true once every 5 years kinda receiver. Didn’t work out that way. The league… there’s been so many but I’d go with Peter Warwick from Florida State for people old enough to remember him. 6 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Robert Nkemdiche men amongst boys at Ole Miss. Thought he was going to be a perfect 3-4 End in the league. Thought for sure Jalen Reagor was going to turn out. His game tape at TcU was incredible.

What's sad is he clearly has the physical tools to be really good. He just doesn't have it between the ears. Not that he isn't smart, but he is strange, and doesn't have that drive and determination to be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Easier to look at Bills, a guy that stands out is James Hardy. I thought he was exactly what we needed at the time and he was out of the league in about 5 seconds. I know a lot of people liked him on here as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, outside of his first two years in Buffalo he produced at a pretty low level even in the games he started. In 2017 and 2019 playing in high powered Rams and Chiefs offenses respectively he started 14 and 13 games but would not have even come close to 1000 yard seasons in either had he played the entire season in either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) I thought Aaron Curry was going to be the best in his draft class. I expected he would have a 10+ year career with some pro bowls appearances and all-pro selections. Edited April 22, 2023 by Wizard 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
