I respect the busts who when they fail, don't act like their whole life is over but either try to be a better person if they had off the field issues or continue to try to make something of themselves. Like JaMarcus, I never knew he got over being a bust but it seems like he's doing alright
It's hard being a pro at sports especially when you're expected to do amazing things because of the hype you had in college. Obviously these guys couldn't handle the pressure of being a top draft pick but I wouldn't criticize them for at least trying. At least now they are professionals at something else and are trying to make the most out of their lives by giving back to the communities they were a part of at one point in their life and helping develop some good high school players by using the knowledge they gained from playing football.
Tim Couch was not a bust, he was repeatedly injured while playing for essentially an expansion team. He was setup to fail by his coaches and the ineptitude of the ownership of the Browns at the time. When he retired, he held multiple team records, some of which still stand to this day. To put him in the same conversation as Ryan Leaf is embarrassing for whomever wrote this video.
@@philiptucker7590"When he retired, he held multiple team records, some of which still stand to this day." So that means nothing to you? Do you think Archie Manning or Philip Rivers were a bust too?
Dude I saw that too and i wanted so bad to see that get mentioned. “(Insert name) works as a sales associate at Home Depot in the lumber and building materials department” lol
@@TheWilder30 i was thinking overnight stocking help. So that nobody could see him and he could get paid to put valuables on the shelf. He knows about going o. The shelf.
You can’t call someone a busy bc of injuries, it’s not their fault and they would’ve most likely achieved big things if it weren’t for it like Lamar Odom and Markelle Fultz
"Yo, Ryan, I just got a call from Arthur Blank himself." "Billionaire hardware store entrepreneur & current owner of the Atlanta Falcons Arthur Blank? Sweet! Does he want me in the Falcons' offensive coaching staff or something?" "No, he actually wants you in the paint department."
I'm most proud of how Tony Mandirch became an artist. I've taken courses in both digital and film photography and it is a very rewarding experience.I should check his stuff out. I hope i see it in a museum one day.
Mandarich was perhaps the biggest busts of all until Ryan Leaf came along. I'm glad for Tony that everything's worked out for him but he did come back to the NFL and manage to start for the Packers i think it was and make something of a career. He wasn't a total bust.
Raiders F up in the 2007 draft. They pretty much miss out on a bunch of HOF for Russell. They could've had Revis team up with Asomugha or Patrick Willis anchoring their defense. Heck even Megatron would've given them the #1 receiver they were lacking since trying out the Randy Moss project that didn't pan out.
DeMarcus Russell was given a blank tape by Raiders coach to study. Next day he was asked how he liked the tape ? Russell said he learned a lot. Raiders were done.
I've heard Ryan Leaf discuss his life. I respect him more in that, to date, he took ownership for his failures. What makes us a failure in life is to never admit to it, never seek forgiveness, or to blame others, never decide to do something about the trajectory of the life God has given us.
Out of all the players I believe courtney brown could have been a hall of Famer, his potential was through the roof and also Aaron curry had massive potential as well.
It really pains me to say it but the facts are undeniable, you could make a whole list of former PSU players that couldn't make it in the NFL solely because of injuries.
I remember Aaron Curry on draft day took a make a wish child with him to New York and seemed like a great person. I may be disremembering that but I know from his interviews I was rooting for him. Also, I'm in a minority but I don't consider David Carr a bust, all things considered.
I agree about Carr. Same thing happened to Joey Harrington. Each had ONE down field weapon named Johnson. Andre and Calvin. And each had Oprah Winfrey as an offensive line coach. "You get a sack! And YOU get a sack!!! And YOU get a sack!!! Everyone on the opposite sideline look under the bench YOU ALL GET SACKS!!!!!" SMH. Messes with a QB's head and screws up their whole career.
I’ll never understand how those who had career injuries or multiple injuries that basically took them out of football can make anyone’s “bust” list. Not their fault at all.
He's a bust he needs to go do something else sports are not his thing maybe flipping burgers but then he'd probably throw to many bad ones Did anyone tell him that stickem is illegal to use now in the NFL
Mandarich did 'Bust' in Green Bay - BUT to come back after several years out of the NFL dealing with a major drug problem and make the team AND start for a couple of years should be considered a successful comeback.
I would like know where Justin Blackmon is He was a top five pick Had a decent rookie season He was supended for half of the next year Then indefinitely supended Never ever heard from again
I'm surprised that RGIII was not on the list... Young was more successfull after his first year.. where RGIII who was great his rookie season became a has been after that...
I know this video is from last year and I'm a little late. But I wouldn't call Vince Young a bust. The average NFL career is only 3.3 years so having even 2 years of success is still really good.
So , Tim couch plays for a division 4 expansion team , and HE'S the bust ? 🤔 Was Steve Young a bust for Tampa Bay? Or did he just play for a bad team ?
People always busts on David Carr, it wasn't his fault he had a horrible offensive line , he was like human pinata. Just glad he wasnt in just with all that pounding he sustained
David Carr never had a real chance when he got drafted by the Texans. How do you expect a young QB to develop when he’s constantly getting sacked on almost every play.
Idk. I still just find it so unfair to label Tim Couch, Vince Young, or David Carr busts. Especially Carr. I remember that poor kid running for his life FOR YEARS. Lol! To say the Texans sucked as a team, especially that O-line, is a more fairly accurate statement. Same can b said of Couch and Cleveland. Young showed too many flashes of brilliance to b considered a bust. Leaf was a bust. Russell was a bust (although a pretty smart one at $32M😎). Akili Smith was such a bust, people forget to even add that "legend" to these lists. All I'm saying, is these lists r biased, at best.
What about Lawrence Phillips. I know he had a horrible ending taking his own life in prison but cmon he is arguably the biggest running back draft bust ever.
