Eddie Curry
Dude had the size to be dominant in the league but played like a ? for the most part. The ? couldn't defend or rebound, he was just big for no damn reason -
Shawn Merriman
Shawn Kemp
Michael Beasley
Greg Odom -
Gotta go w Mike vick, baseball mark pryor and basketball I wanna say McGrady but grant hill actually had the desire, mentality and right attitude to be a future hall of famer. Crazy how if things had worked out they could both b looked at different in ball circles as far as winning is concerned

Speaking of FSU QB's, ? Xavier Lee he came off the bench and beat Alabama in Saban's first year and then washed out with the quickness. He seemingly had all the tools too. Adrian McPherson also, at least he's paid though he won like a $5 million lawsuit from the Titans from getting ran over by their mascot while he was driving a golf cart.
Xavier, to be kind wasn't the brightest candle on the birthday cake. He didn't know his playbook(s) and he couldn't read a defense for ? !
I totally forgot about that golf cart accident w/ Adrian. Lmao!!! -

? was TRUE hood ? . Got addicted to pills after those NFL injuries an it was a wrap. I think he ran a 4.3 40 yd dash in his socks one time. -

He actually was a narcissist. The reason he was on roids wasn't really to become more competitive and gain an on field advantage, but just to look good (in his eyes). There were stories that he used to look in the mirror @ his physique for like 20 minutes. Dude had mental issues.
Oh yeah, I remember Brian Baldinger (NFL Network) saying that he talked to him while he was still playing and Boston actually admitted to him that his vision wasn't that best and he couldn't really see the ball well. Lol @ wideout not doing anything to correct his eyesight. -
Marcus Lattimore before the injuries?
Reidel Anthony - was a beast @ WR at florida. Held NCAA record for most consecutive games with a TD (before Moss broke it) and set the SEC record for most TDs (18) in a season which still stands even after WRs like Julio Jones, AJ Green, Alshon Jeffrey, Percy Harvin, Randall Cobb, Amari Cooper, Mike Evans, OBJ, etc etc have come afterwards.
He just didn't have it in him for pro ball i guess. I remember he was playing for Tampa vs Green Bay and he had a wide open bomb for a TD (i think in playoffs) on national TV and dropped it.
John Madden said "he was already thinking of the dance he was going to do in the end zone". Madden was probably right because dude used to like to celebrate after he scored.
He was never the same after that drop.
Tbh, most Florida wide receivers no matter how good they are in college, usually ain't ? when they get to the league. Just sayin' doe. -
All duke players that go to the nba except a few like
Trajon Langdon
Chris Latner
Bobby Hurley
Jason Williams
every body not named grant hill -
Chad Johnson had the ability too be a top 10 wr of all time but his antics ? him up big time
-
Good thread but Some of yall named players that "didn't reach their full potential" like shaq, vick, iverson, odom
Thats not the same as Wasted potential like Jamarcus Russell, Brandon Roy, Bynum
Big difference -
Futbol greats and legends
But if they had cared a little more and trained harder:
Ronaldinho
Ronaldo (brazilian one) -
If you knew boxing, you would know that Cotto is a hype job/catchweight king at this point in his career. -

Darryl Strawberry.
The poster child for 80s coke-head sports stars. ? shame. Him and Doc Gooden could've won about three WS chips for those Mets. I know he's a Met great, but he realistically could have been a GOAT. -

Was gonna say this.
Eddie fresh outa HS had the ability to put up 25-30 point games on veteran centers in the league.
But never jumped or cared to rebound. He let Tyson Chandler handle all rebound & defensive duties. And got fat.
Another Bull i had false hope in was Tyrus Thomas. Springs for legs crazy athlete. Who knows wtf he doin now. -

Justin Blackmon.
He had skills, and was on a team that had no choice but to feed him, but mentally he ? up left and right. -
