    Draft Busts...

    ....

    What goes through you're mind when you watch that?

    Its not a uncommon story...i just remember this one more than others. My brother is a big college football fan, you use to brag about Rogers. I remember watching him tear teams apart.

    I drove by the fork in the road and went straight"

    Mike Williams too, from USC. Dude was a nasty receiver and just got fat and turned into a bum in the NFL. I remember when he joined Oakland, they were trying to move him to TE because he was too big and slow to play WR lol. Damn shame. There's soooo many busts in the NFL. Remember Peter Warrick? lol he was like one of the most explosive players in college football history, straight up beasting on punt and kick returns, very solid reciever, scoring like it was nothing. Dude was okay in the NFL but nothing close to what he was supposed to be.

    Charles Rogers was definitely a bum. Dude was holding out and demanding top dollar too and did absolutely NOTHING in the NFL. I think he had to pay back some of his money after.. lmao dude was so garbage. It's just like Crabtree today. Dudes such an asshole. He's probably gonna sit out the year and re enter the draft. Dude is being offered 14-18 million dollars of guaranteed money and he's turning it down. Dude was nice in college but he's not a Larry Fitzgerald type talent coming out of college. Greedy fuck. I hope he gets backballed from the league and ends up playing in the CFL for 85K a year.

    That shit is sad. It's not uncommon either; get signed, get a contract even, get excited and overwork until you get an injury, loose any endorsement, contract, and team you have.

    Crabtree needs to try and get drafted next year, and fail. I hope no one wants him. Teach him a lesson on opportunity, you're a DRAFT PICK you fucking loser. Fuck if he's nice, he's coming out of COLLEGE. You need to survive rookie year and then some before you start making whatever fucked up ideal you have in your head.
    I got you.

    Mike Williams and Dwayne Jarret were slow out of USC though. Both big guys, easy targets and made TONS of TDs with USC. Both players ran pretty bad 40 times...like 4.5 range. They didnt run good routes either...USC ball was simple, you're big, get into the endzone = jumpball.

    But yea....Larry Fitz was one of a kind. He was a ball boy for the vikings, Chris carter and Randy Moss taught him how to play while he was in highschool. His pops works in the league...he had the talent AND the work ethic. A lot of thesr younger guys with the abundance of talent dont work hard. Vick even admitted he relied on his talent....last into the gym, 1st one out.

    Crabtree seems to fit the mold of Rogers, Williams, etc. I hope not....but siting out a whole season will be held against you your whole career.
