Gator you thought would excel in the NFL but didn't (and the other side of the coin)

Ike hung around the NFL for 12 years, had 546 receptions or about 46 a year. That's a solid NFL career.

Yeah, I hesitated putting him in the same category as Anthony, who for whatever reason just never made it. Still, based on his time at UF, I really thought he'd be a better pro. As someone mentioned, to think that Darel Jackson would have as good or better NFL career is pretty crazy.

Reed and WHill are good calls on the surprise list as well.

Two players I thought would do well but didn't:

Jarvis Moss and Derrick Harvey

Someone who is doing better than I ever thought he would:

Jeremy Mincey is still in the league. Big surprise.

As a Jaguar fan.. jesus christ I strongly dislike Harvey

No idea. Is he still on the old board?

No. He just disappeared.

Last post on GSMB was Sept 2013.

 

[MJMGator]

No. He just disappeared.

I guess he's just one of the ones that never realized to google Ox.

I guess he's just one of the ones that never realized to google Ox.

Or maybe he didn't want to?

I thought Rex was going to be a really good QB. Wow is he awful.

Didn't he have something against Ox? Or maybe I'm mixing names up.

I don't believe so. I know ox use to give him a hard time for being a Jags fan, but that was about it. I wouldn't think funngun would have taken any of that ribbing personal.

Travis Taylor was a top ten pick of the Ravens.His last game here was that heartbreaker against Michigan State. I think him and Plaxico each had close to 200 receiving yards.
He won a SB ring in his rookie year with Baltimore, but other than that had a pretty modest career.

Surprise bust: Percy Harvin

Surprise success: Will Hill

not sure I'd say Percy was a bust. He is what most people thought he'd be. A play maker that is hurt easily and will not play long in the league. I think he met expectations. (mine at least) He is one of the most talented and hurt players in the league. And he has a Super Bowl ring and contributed. Will Hill is a surprise though.

I thought Rex was going to be a really good QB. Wow is he awful.

He was the most disappointing to me too.

I agree but I wish a "awful" job allowed me to do this -----> "The Cleveland Browns signed Grossman on August 12, 2014[SUP][80][/SUP] and cut him on August 31.[SUP][81][/SUP] On December 22, the Browns offered Grossman a one-week $53,529 NFL veteran league minimum contract after losing Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer to injuries. Grossman passed on the offer in order to spend the holidays in Palm Beach with his family.[SUP][" Wikipedia[/SUP]

Louis Oliver, Huey Richardson, Deshawn Wynn and Derrick Harvey would be tops on bad side.
David Nelson, Will Hill, Louis Murphy would be some recent players on the good side......
