Re: Biggest busts ever, NFL / MLB / NBA
As somebody who watched Ryan Leaf's whole career at WSU, his bust was so sad, and didn't need to happen.
If there was any player who needed to sit on the bench for a year or two, it was Ryan.
Physically he was far superior to Manning, but he wasn't bright, and anybody who saw him play knew that.
I'll echo what Jack said about baseball. It's just hard to call anybody a bust. Especially pitches, who by the very nature of what they do risk "busting" via injury.
There's a lot of NBA busts, mostly because people fetishize tall players who aren't very good.
