2 of the top 8 were by the Browns.

No wonder they suck so bad for so long.

Penn St with 4 of the 18.

Those three RB's were brutal.

Carter did get hurt though.

Jamarcus Russell will more than likely join that list sooner than later.

tribe I would go easy on KiJana Carter. He did suffer a major knee injury his rookie year. What about Kenneth Sims from Texas? He was the first guy drafted in 1982 and I don't think he did much. Charles Rogers from Michigan State was a bust as was Mike Williams from USC. Way to go Matt Millen.

Art Schlicter qb Ohio State
Perry Tuttle wr Clemson
Walt Patulski dt Notre Dame
Anthony Hancock wr Tennessee
David Klingler qb Houston
Billy Cannon Jr db Texas A&M In fairness he had a neck or back problem and was never able to play for the Cowboys. Oddity he was the first player from Texas A&M to ever be drafted by the Cowboys.


Plenty of college stars bust when they go to the pros but it shouldn't diminish what they were able to accomplish at the college level.

...and Brady Quinn might join the list of Browns' busts.

Of course every great Gator QB has been an NFL bust....

Spurrier
Bell
Matthews
Wuerffel
Grossman
Leak

Tebow????

069  There was a pro scout joke about Penn State running backs- " What goes on in Happy Valley stays in Happy Valley".

David Verser wr Kansas  He was Cincinnatti's number 1 pick in 1981. They took wr Chris Collinsworth from Florida with their number 2 pick. He was a pro bowler and Verser was gone quick.

Quinn was the 23rd overall pick. Don't busts normally get drafted in the top 10 or top 5.

Reggie Bush.... Yes thats right, Reggie Bush. His #'s for the OVERALL #2 are pathetic. MANY others drafted after him are doing MUCH MORE.

One of the biggest was by my Saints - 1st round pick : Russell Erxlabian (spelling) , a kicker and punter.

Ohio State LBs

Andy Katzenmoyer.

I think AJ Hawk is looking like a bust as well.
