Mike Lustyk was hands down the most overhyped.

Cotton. He is good in the NFL and in contrast to some of the other write ins (Ahmed) he was actually good at UW

Ahmed, Gaskin, Sample, Dissly, Pettis, Hunter Bryant in 2017. Not to mention the stacked defense with Vita and Gaines.
The most shameful thing in the past 14 years in husky football to not even make the conference championship game with that roster.

Uhh, no. The most shameful was losing at home to Montana

Well, yeah. I still think that if Jimmy hires Helfrich and completely leaves the offense alone he is still the coach here even if his seat this year or next would be on fire.

This is good. I think he was hurt but it's so insane I laugh that Jimmy and JonDon couldn't get Otton the ball against garbage Pac-12 teams and the next year he was caching game-winning touchdowns from Tom Brady in the league.

Very successful college backs not doing shit in the nfl is a classic case yeah. See Sankey, Polk, Gaskin, probably lots of Oregon guys.
The point is that Ahmed didn’t do the opposite. He didn’t do anything in the nfl to prove he was anything other than what he was at UW.
All that being said, Gaskin at least had about 1.5 years in the NFL of decent success as a passing down back on a decent team. He got 2.5 x the number of career touches as Ahmed and I doubt that changes too much as Ahmed might have one year left in the nfl maybe.
