KJ Wright

Dude has been a mainstay of that Seattle defense for a while now. One of the best LB's in entire league. I'm a fan.

State fans - Was he that good when he was in college? I don't remember really hearing much about him. If I'm getting this wrong feel free to roast me.


You have to remember he came along in the Croom/early Mullen days, He was definitely a good college player, though I thought he was always the second or third best LB on his own team at State. Jamar Chaney and Chris White were probably better college players. KJ did have a good college career though.

I thought Cam Newton was a good player in a gimmick offense in CFB and wouldn’t see any meaningful success at the NFL level. Yea that take aged wel

Mike Hilton- he was a good college player that was very underrated but has been a terrific NFL player. I never thought that he would be big enough for it.

Chevis Jackson and Early Doucet never amounted to jack shite in the NFL. I expect something better than their dog shite careers.

Jackson just wasn't athletic enough, I think Doucet had some good games, but yeah should've been better

I feel like 5 years in the league for a late 3rd round pick is pretty standard.

Darius Slay. Though he was a good college player, I didn’t see a possible hall of fame career if he keeps on this trajectory. Banks got all the college hype, but that apparently was because teams just knew better than to throw at Slay in hindsight.

My answer as well. Thought he was a lock to have a monster career.

Reshad Jones. He missed so many tackles his senior year but he’s stuck around in the NFL for a long time.

He was burned A TON early in his career, but worked his way to be a damn good DB.

Johnny Manziel (would have been more surprised though if it had not been the Browns)

Yet Nutt thought it was a good idea to put him at tight end.

I was surprised how awful Boss Bailey was in the NFL. I thought he would be at least partially as good as his brother
