A bust because of where he was drafted.



Which, by definition, is what makes a bust a bust.

So then Trent Richardson is both a bust and a shitty player while Aundray Bruce is just a busy? Gotcha

Bruce had very little hype for a #1. 1988 was actually one of the strangest drafts. There was no consensus on who the top picks were. In fact many scouts went on record as saying the talent was so weak that year there was nothing but second and third rounders to pick from, and most still consider it the weakest draft ever. The Falcons settled on Bruce because he was a hometown kid at a position of need, not because anyone expected him to be the next Lawrence Taylor. Bo and Cam on the other hand, were as hyped as you can get and absolute locks as #1.
