The 2012 WR Class... 9 years later 

Justin Blackmon, such a big "what if"

I'll never forget how fun of a trio John Brown, Michael Floyd, and Larry Fitzgerald were during the BA-Palmer era. It was a good time while it lasted.

I used to watch OSU games just to watch Blackmon. Sad story, such a talented player. Allen Robinson came along 2 years later, they could have had one of the best duo in the league.

Ty Hilton is the best receiver to come out of this draft

Being a Jags fan, I was so excited for Justin Blackmon. His games against Houston and Denver were incredible. He looked to finally be the answer at wideout, since Jimmy Smith retired. Such an incredible waste of talent due to his off field issues.

Damn lucky timing! Always love looking back at the draft classes with KTO

Blackman and Gordon are 2 of the biggest "What Ifs" in recent memory.

Topics like these reminds you just how short a NFL career is. Safety should be more paramount cause these guys have alot of life after football.

I love these videos, it's so good for people who weren't watching back then to get context, learn about players you know, and don't know. Please keep doing these they're some of my favorite videos to watch period. RU-vid, Netflix, anything I love these

Justin Blackmon had so much potential. I remember being hype when the Jags picked him just for him to be out of the league a few years later.

KTO “____ years ago” videos are goated

damn man i wish i could play ncaa again. 🥺jus talking about prospects gets the nostalgia flowing

I love watching these videos because I’m not American but I really enjoy the game. Finding out about all of these individuals is truly enlightening. KTO is bringing the goods again.

Late 00's and early 2010's will always be my favorite years of the NFL.

This series brings back so many memories. Middle school kid watching these guys in college. Man the good ole days

Talents keeping out of trouble is, unfortunately, a big problem. So many what ifs have surfaced thanks to many off the field issues. It’s just sad.

Blackmon was such a beast man. GOAT college receiver imo

9:00 this is one of the best features of Pro Football Reference. I always go back to old drafts and sort by stats - games played, receptions, yds, etc. Gives a perspective on the over-valuing of 1st round picks.

Justin Blackmon would’ve been a top 5 receiver ever if he didn’t have his off field issues

I really hope that Gordon gets going in Kansas City

I remember whenever I'd play as the Cardinals in Madden 15, I'd *only* throw to Michael Floyd. Definitely fun to watch irl for a few years, too

Bengals got the best bang for their buck with Mohammed Sanu and Marvin Jones Jr in the 3rd & 5th rounds.

This class had SOO much potential

Bro the outdo every time is so good It’s like the perfect exit

Love the vids man. You should do a vid (in each position if ya want) of super star players from college that fell off, fk'd up, etc that they have got a full careers. How different could the NFL be? It happens all the time, like Blackmon in this video. If he could have stayed out of trouble what kinda of impact could there have been? Playa after player, draft after draft. How deep and star studded could it be if all the injuries, arrests, and busts just never happened on top of all the surprise talent too. Now it just sounds like a thought experiment rather than a video idea, too many variables lol.

Ryan Broyles.. He never made it as a legit NFL wide receiver, but he was super smart with his money and is a good person to look up to for young athletes.

Regarding Blackmon, one of the teams that drafted before Jacksonville sent a scout to Stillwater. The scout’s job was to sit all day in Blackmon’s favorite bar for a few days. Blackmon was there so often that the team passed on drafting him.

Love when you do these types of videos. You should start of series of these running down QBs, RBs, and WRs from each class.

Had Josh Gordon in fantasy that year. Yup. It was a good year.

these videos are bangers especially since it takes me back to NFL history in the 2010s that I wasn't familiar with thanks KTO

Love these types of videos bro, great storytelling as always

Hands down these are my favorite series on RU-vid today

We not gonna talk about how a WR named Nick Toon was in this draft class as well?

The 49ers were better off drafting a long-snapper in the first round over that *MEGA BUST* AJ Jenkins!

I remember Michael Floyd, I remember when he caught a pass that went off his teammates helmet and went into his hands for a touchdown.

AJ Jenkins has to be one of the worst picks of all time. How often does a first round receiver get moved after their rookie season? Picks like that make me question how Trent Baalke got a second chance

Great video!!!! Love this series!!

As a Browns fan, I really hope that Gordon gets going in Kansas City. He was so fun to watch

God I love the little surprise ending mentions, and hand picked plays to close out on. Superb work as always

This is literally my favorite RU-vid channel and literally the best kind of videos in my opinion!!!!!!

Please 🙏 post more videos? You do beyond a great job and I can't wait to check out da next one.

I see my man Travis Benjamin still sticking around. He was great at the U.

Keep it up, can't wait to watch it

Love your videos man!

Blackmon and josh Gordon had so much potential had they dealt with there off field issues

Always amazing when KTO Posts

I love these videos please do keep the great uploads you do !!

i get chills when that outro hits at 10:00. Great video KTO

That’s crazy I partied with Michael Floyd in Scottsdale in 2012 you wouldn’t even thought he was in the NFL very down to earth guy

Love these types of vids

Bro you are the best on this app I love watching these

That damn outro beat is so damn fire!!! Great video man

As always another great video!

Bro I been binge watching your videos 😂 man good content! You should do other sports as well!

KTO you should make a video about this college football football season just like the one you made about the 2007 season. Both seasons have been insane and that is to this day my favorite video

If Blackmon didn’t have his issues, that Sacksonville team coulda won the Super Bowl

You could totally make a video talking about everyone in that one pic of the giants on the boat in like 2016 right before they fell apart. “where are they now” lmao

I get unreasonably excited when a new KTO video comes out.

I miss watching Ryan Broiles play in college. The dude was SICK!!

Your outros the 🐐

Nice vid man keep it up

Can't wait for the 2020 version of this in ten years. Also a very talented class with a fair amount of weird stuff in the works (coughcoughHenryRuggscough)

gotta love a KTO vid

I should have known KTO would somehow bring this back around to the Browns by video's end 😂 Love it, keep up the good work 👍

Gotta go back and watch some Floyd highlights from college. He had some incredible catches. Wish you couldve showed some of those

What’s the story behind everyone doing the Stone Cold Steve Austin “WHAT!” after Goodell says the pick number? Lmao

Blackmon would have been an multi year all pro. He comes from an amazing family in Ardmore (OK) and is a great kid. Just had a disease. He’s better now and still the greatest WR I’ve ever watched in college.

Saw Brain Quick on the list, he was always around the NFL and had at least 2 decent seasons (I think), I'd always nab him in madden and he was just one of the more slower WR's in the game

My alma mater plays Concordia-Saint Paul every year. Would have had no idea that Michael Floyd was there coaching. I heard mentions that he was back in Saint Paul, but that threw me for a loop when you brought that up. I remember Floyd in high school (he was a year ahead of me). My high school never played against him that I can recall, but every week his highlights were all over the weekly news.

Looking at that 2012 draft list now, the successes mainly come from defense and O-line. WR was definitely underwhelming in comparison.

Josh Gordon could’ve been the best WR in the NFL if he just stayed clean

I love how you’re doing the WR class rather than the top 10 picks. Keep ‘em coming!

I remember the Bears needed a WR so I followed the WR class closely. Alshon Jeffery had one of the most impressive college tapes I have ever seen. Not only did he make some highlight catches, he did it over some big name guys. That class was stacked too....don't reach for a player if the position is too deep.

The goat has officially uploaded😌

Love the What!? After evey Goodell sentence 😂

Being from Illinois I was so hyped for AJ Jenkins when he got drafted in the 1st, shame that his NFL career didn’t pan out

As a pats fan I will never forget Micheal Floyd’s block against the dolphins for Edelmans touchdown reception or the fact he was apart of the super bowl comeback even if he was inactive

Two of the biggest "What If" in the same draft. Incredible.

The ending 🔥🔥🔥

Man I had to literally FEAR Justin Blackmon every year he was at OSU as an OU fan. I was so convinced he was gonna tear the league up for the next 10 years.

the name blackmon brings bad memories

Liked the video while scoring a TD with Bo Jackson in Tecmo

Good video. Still have to do that 2014 WR class though.

Josh Gordan was a beast in Cleveland when he had his shit together.

The 3rd round of that draft gave us Rusell Wilson and TY Hilton, two seriously great players. How on earth did all the scouts and GMs and coaches overlook them? Oh wait, they're both kinda short.

when you end the video with a browns highlight, it just makes me happy.

I saw Ryan Broyles on that list. I was actually neighbors with him in Michigan while he was playing for the Lions. He could've been such an amazing receiver if it wasn't for injuries

I just remember watching Michael Irving trying to school Blackmon before the draft, giving him tips and a little tough love. Blackmon's expression and general demeanor had bust written all over it.

Giant Oklahoma State fan here he’s still loved around the program but he never really came around until recently wish him nothing but the best in his future!

Man Blackmon was a beast! Hate that we didn't don't get to see him through 10yrs

I’d love to see a video about the 2012 QB class.

*Sees a KTO upload* OKAY IT’S HAPPENING. EVERYBODY STAY CALM

Oh no not Stephen Hill, he was the start of the 2nd round Jets Draft WR pick bust. A lot of these picks weren’t very good shows you how hard it is at the next jump

Just got off work!! Lets go!!

Should’ve shown that one play Michael Floyd had with the Patriots! Busted his ass for that touchdown off the slant route

As a St. Louis Rams fan, i wanted Justin Blackmon sooooooooo bad to go along with Sam Bradford😔

Man, if they were never introduced to the puff puff, sniff sniff and the gulp gulp, Josh Gordon and Justin Blackmon had promising careers ahead of them. Sad reality shows a different story

I knew u were gonna end it with jg, gave me chills

Always likes to thank "seatgeek". Seatgeek never done me good.
