Chance Warmack. To be a top 10 pick as a guard, you have to be viewed as a can't miss, 10 year dominant starter. He barely even became a starter at all.

Dee Milliner, but in his defense, he had injury issues in the NFL.

Rolando McClain. He had a few good years, but from the second he got to Tuscaloosa to the time he left, he was all-world.
He was supposed to have the career Donta Hightower had.

Peria Jerry was the most dominant DT in the SEC in 2008 but shredded his knee twice after being drafted.
Treadwell though that wasn’t a huge surprise, never regained his speed after his injury. Not done playing yet though.

Aundray Bruce. #1 pick overall. Although he did end up playing about 9 or 10 years in the NFL, just nothing noteworthy about his career.

Zac Stacy. He had 973 yards after only having 15 carries in the Rams first 5 games. That yardage total was 2nd only to Eric Dickerson in the franchise record book for the Rams (all iterations). Then he showed up out of shape for his 2nd season, and it all fell apart.

I thought Dexter McCluster could have had a better career. Super niche player but would have been dynamic in an offense that passes the ball more out of the backfield.

I thought Josh Reed would have had a better NFL career. But his style was about a decade or so too early for the NFL. In today's NFL, he would be the perfect slot receiver.

Audray Bruce was being tabbed as the next LT. #1 overall pick that had 10 mediocore seasons.

Ace Sanders. Thought he was gonna be Devin Hester like returning punts

I think that's what makes it disappointing, is that he had the making of a HOF career after his first 2 seasons. Injuries are one thing, but this was 100% mental off the field.
Other Mizzou players that make the list include Martin Rucker, Danario Alexander, and Shane Ray.

Had a very solid career. Wouldn’t consider him a bust at all.

I'm gonna get hammered for this, but I really thought Brodie Croyle was going to be a consistent starter in the NFL. His O-line was atrocious at Bama.
I remember him winning some rookie long ball competition on TV and thinking that he was about to come into his own.
Man was I wrong.

Same issue in pros as in college... Maybe not the oline issues but still too injury prone. Raw talent was there for sure.

Terrence Cody. POS player and apparently POS person to boot.
Posted on 8/12/19 at 3:32 pm to General RL Bullard
He's still got time, but I thought TJ Yeldon would've been more of an impact player.

Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson. Patterson's issues are between the ears (he just wasn't gifted with much in the way of smarts and that's made utilizing him difficult for pro QBs and OCs) but Hunter has just never been able to do much despite having a ridiculous amount of talent. With Hunter, he lost something when he was injured at the Swamp and it wasn't physical, imo. When he came back he was physically fine but he just never had the same edge again.

I haven’t heard about him in a while, what did he do to gain such a bad reputation?
