Who Is Your Favorite Player That Never Went On To Be A Star In The Nfl?


Recommended Posts

I ask this question because the Florida Gators Facebook page posted a Throwback Thursday post for UF vs. Vandy today.

The post was Keiwan Ratliff's SEC record setting 8th Interception that was returned for a TD to seal the victory over Vanderbilt. Ratliff was one of my favorite players of all time, and he's a guy who went off to the NFL and was never heard from again.

Who are your favorite players who dominated in college but went on to do nothing in the NFL?

Pollack. Awful injury

Boss Bailey. Just a freak in college

Blue. The man could hit then poof in the pros

Odell. Well all his fault.

Robert Edwards. Another awful injury

I'm sure there's more.

Edwards actually had a decent NFL career until the beach football game at the pro bowl.

Sucks what happend to Dixon what if he did not get injured in collage

He would have won the Heisman, no doubt. Oregon probably would have went on to challenge for the national title as well. After he got hurt they tanked. I remember thinking he would be an exception in the NFL to those spread option QBs who tend to flame out because he was really accurate. He never amounted to much more than a backup QB or scout team guy as a pro though.

He had an awesome rookie year then blew his knee out and never returned to the level that everyone saw his rookie year. He did not become the star he had a chance to.

If there's no injury he has a better career than Garrison I believe.

He was fun to watch. He almost broke Florida's win streak over Kentucky one year, and was driving for the game winning TD until he threw the ball to Keiwan Ratliff.

The fact that he weighed 275 lbs, was left handed and wore a non-traditional number for a QB (22), made him very unique.
