What Pac 12 player you thought was NFL star that ended up nothing.

Yeah, calling Vontaze a bust is a stretch.BleachedAnusDawg said:
I agree with most of this. I think Reggie developed a coke habit. Vontaze was voted to the Pro Bowl in his second year and had a 7-8 year career so not sure I'd lump him in here. N'Keal Harry from ASU would be my vote.WoolleyDoog said:As shitty Jon Wilner, love this stuff so I'll do each Pac-12 team.
Shocked people are saying LaMichael James. Always seemed like a pure college guy - really small and seemed like a lot of his success had to do with the hurry up and their system. Kenjon Barner always seemed just as good to me too.
Washington - Reggie Williams - Heard he didn't work hard enough to be an NFL impact guy.
Washington State - Rien Long (pre-combine) - Once he showed up like 100 pounds overweight at the combine it was clearly over.
Oregon - Jake Fisher
Oregon State - DeLawrence Grant
Cal - Jared Goff - thought he'd be better
Stanford - Bryce Love - thought he was too small to be a star and let himself get too beat up in college but surprised I don't think he ever played an NFL game.
UCLA - Dave Ball
USC - Marqise Lee
Arizona - Ka'Deem Carey
Arizona State - Vontaze Burfict
Utah - Star Lotulelei
Colorado - Chris Brown
Harry is like many WR’s. Tall, jump ball artists are almost always overrated in the NFL. -
Reggie Bush is pretty disappointing. Emtman, John Ross.

Big ditto on Marqise Lee. I thought he'd be a great pro.WoolleyDoog said:As shitty Jon Wilner, love this stuff so I'll do each Pac-12 team.

There were several surprising disappointments from Pete's USC run, and in the few years thereafter. Nick Perry, Shawn Cody, Barkeley, Dirty Sanchez, Sedric Ellis, Keith Rivers. There are others. Totally agree that Bush was a disappointment. Leinhart looked like the college system QB, so I wasn't shocked about that one. But I expected Bush to be a great pro. He was not.RaceBannon said:USC

Heroin was his downfall, cocaine was the gateway hard drug. Showed up at combine out of shape, and still scored in the top 2-8% in everything but the bench. But I’m not going to miss an opportunity for this:Swaye said:Meth does a body good.
Colt was recently paroled from prison, I think he’s wanted again - can’t fix some brains. He’s successful broken out of jail before, and eluded police. Imagine being a fatass cop trying to catch that guy. I never had to take an actual science class at UO, I took stats and CS classes for my meager degree reqs, but from what I understand this is actually the school’s lone remaining tenured chemistry professor. The others were arrested at a meth lab outside of Coburg.

Trey “I want a bigger dick” Adams.
Injury related, but I thought he was going to be a 1st rounder -
Marqise Lee for me. He was the best Pac-10/12 WR I’d ever seen. Jesus fucking Christ this is his career game log, unstoppable.

I felt bad for Bryce Love his Senior year. I think Shaw was giving him like 60 carries a game. He was obviously beat up. Even though he still managed to hobble his way to a win over us.Fishpo31 said:Bryce Love

He’s escaped jail twice. That’s harder to do than play in the NFL. Colt’s a success in my book.RatherBeBrewing said:
