Who was your college’s biggest bust?

[madinsomniac]

So today Jonathan Baldwin’s name came up in conversation… He was a WR for Pitt taken in the first round by KC a little over a decade ago… he was huge, built like a tank and ran a sub 4.5 40… he also had temper issues and broke his wrist in a minicamp fight prior to camp then missed the whole preseason… knee issues quickly followed and he was traded to san fran but couldn’t pass a physical… he was out of the league within 3 seasons.

Id venture from a potential and draft position spot, he was clearly Pitt’s biggest bust..

Id think for Penn state it has to be Kajana Carter.
Yeah you have other busts like Blackledge and Courtney Brown, but Carter looked like he would be that generational running back… then his ligaments ended up being made of crepe paper…

In any case who do you think your college’s biggest draft bust was?

Also Stry-cope-r this would have been a good podcast topic if, you know, the podcast still existed

 

[Iron95]

I thought Geno Smith was going to be, but he seems to be doing better.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

That would have to be Lorraine Czlonka.

I would say Courtney Brown was the biggest bust from psu.

Curtis Ennis and Kijana got injured. Plus going FIRST overall means something imo.
Courtney Brown just sucked

Hank Fraley maybe?

And Kevin Colbert the year he traded up for Devin Bush...

UH had Andre Ware and David Klingler...but at least Klingler was a bust for cincy

supe does the name Heath Shuler mean anything to you?

Brown had knee issues that ended his career short. He actually played a year less than Carter… Carter eeked out 7 seasons… his total career starts were less than a full seasons worth… If you read Browns articles on him, they were stoked after his rookie year, then injuries just piled up till he was worthless

The thing for me was I never felt Brown was gonna be a surefire HOFer… i felt the Browns past on the better guy in Arrington… Carter, on the other hand, I thought that guy was going to just demolish the league… and he just never had that same ability to read holes in the nfl… might’ve been that he lost a step, i guess…

The Vols probably moonshined that name right out of their heads… Like Redskin fans did

Vernon Gholston, 1st rd pick to the Jets (6th overall pick) from tOSU in 2008. I'm not sure I've ever seen a more "look like tarzan, play like Jane" player in all my years watching this sport. he was a beast with the Buckeyes, but absolutely horrid in the pros.

I personally think if Brown went anywhere but the factory of sadness he would have had a much improved career. Dude was 6-5, 280lbs and ran a 4.5 with a 37" vertical. Only the Browns could f_ck up that much talent.
