Re: Biggest busts ever, NFL / MLB / NBA
So many to choose from over the past few years, mostly because of sports media wanting to claim that everyone is the next big thing . . . I apologize to Charger fans in advance (this still probably brings back painful memories): Ryan Leaf
My reasons?
1)San Diego traded two first round picks, a second round pick and three-time Pro Bowler Eric Metcalf so they could move up and draft him.
2)In three years, Leaf started 18 games, posting a record of 4-14 and a 48.8 quarterback rating.
3)Other players taken after Leaf include Takeo Spikes, Charles Woodson, Randy Moss, Samari Rolle, Stephen Alexander, Ahman Green, Brian Griese, Hines Ward, Az-Zahir Hakim, Lance Shulters, and a dozen or so O and D linemen that have been solid starters for several years.
