I would say honey badger because he seems to have his act together right now opposed to when he was in college.

Good one. I had to google to learn that he played at Ole Miss. I don't remember hearing his name in college.

Donte Stallworth's life taking career didn't really flourish until after he got to the league.

Perry Riley is having a way better career than I thought. Also Stevan Ridley only had that one decent year here and without the fumble problems, he is a legit top 10 NFL RB. He was my favorite RB before Hill so glad to see him having success.

Ironically, Foster had 5 fumbles in 650 carries...but each fumble came at a horrible time. Four of the five were difference makers in close games.

Patrick Willis


He was a beast in college but played on really bad teams. Still was All-American in college, but he's been even better in the pros. Pro bowl every year since joining the league and is the best LB in the NFL today

Jason Peters played tight end(extra tackle) for H. Nutt at Arkansas, now he is one of the top 5 OT's in the NFL.

Ronnie Wingo couldn't do shite but run a wheel route here, makes the Bills roster and is still on it.

George Wilson was alright as a WR, extends his career to over a decade after switching to DB.

Here is one for you...Pat Ryan. In his 3 years at UT, he completed 31 passes for 405 yards, 1 TD and 5 interceptions. Best known for being Jimmy Streater's backup, he played 14 seasons for the New York Jets. Sure, he only started 19 games in his 14 seasons in the NFL


I used to have a practice jersey from a Jets pre-season camp that I'm pretty sure Pat Ryan gave to my dad. I know, CSB.

Probably the best answer from recent years. I never would have predicted this kind of success from him in the NFL. Although this past season, he was a pretty big disappointment for my fantasy squad.

From an LSU standpoint, Danny McCray and Trindon Holliday come to mind.

McCray was actually who I thought of when I saw this thread. Amazing what the right system can do.... or the wrong one, for that matter.

Was it Pelini or Malveto that thought he could and should cover Percy Harvin?
