This is how people felt about Honey Badger as well.


There's a laundry list of college FB players ESPN has done this with. They love to put 'em on top of the world and then document the downfall and/or not living up to the unrealistic hype/expectations that THEY put on them. Just off the top of my head:

Reggie Bush (NCAA investigation, not as good in NFL)
Vince Young (didn't dominate NFL, went crazy for a bit there)
Tebow (from the draft up through his continuing NFL saga)
Tyrann Mathieu (drug issues)
JFF (partying, NCAA investigation)
Clowney (we'll see...)

Feel free to add to the list. ESPN has turned to shite. It's better to be in the Russell Wilson/Teddy Bridgewater scenario. Talked about but not hyped.
