04 Auburn backfield had 3 of the bigger 1st round NFL busts...
Between Williams, Brown, Campbell, and Rogers... you've got 334 starts, 2 pro bowls, plus an "NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year" award.
Campbell had nearly 17,000 yards passing
Williams had 4,000 yards rushing
Brown had 5,000 yards rushing
Rogers had 17 interceptions (2 returned for a TD)
Both Brown and Williams finished their careers with more than double the rushing yards of Trent Richardson.
At his current pace, Mark Ingram will need another 2 seasons to pass Williams... and another four seasons to pass Brown in career rushing yards.
While none of those Auburn stars will ever be hall of famers, to say they were "busts" is a bit of a stretch.
