RIP Charles Rogers
Ryan Leaf was #1 in the 1998 NFL Draft and became the #1 NFL bust.
1:08 😂😂😂
Daigle wasn't very good, but he did have a couple of seasons of 20+ goals, and he did play past the age of 25. Patrik Stefan? The missed empty net goal (you know, THE empty missed net goal) sums up his career.
Too bad this was uploaded Becks Johnny manziel was kicked out of the NFL. I figured he would make top 5 or 3
Where’s Anthony bennett?
Why is watch mojo contradicting themselves? You said you weren’t including injured players, then went ahead and added players that had careers cut short by injuries.
Lol…
The two quarterbacks who played in the 2006 Rose Bowl — Texas' Vince Young and Southern California's Matt Linnert — were the best of the decade. So were their teams, and so was the national title game, which Texas won 41-38. But Linnert and Young completely flopped after that night.
Linnert showed more interest in partying during his early NFL years and Young could not even hold a job down period. The U. of Texas gave him a non-sports position after he failed in the NFL, and frequently failed to show up for work.
They characterized a generation of stars who didn't understand that success doesn't fall in your lap, despite being great. The hype and adulation destroyed their attitudes.
I'm surprised the Boz didn't make the cut
Crazy to realise Dipietro contract ended a year ago
RIP Charles Rodgers
I am suprised there were no baseball busts. ANyone know any?
Eric Lindros
He was drafted first overall by the Quebec Nordiques but didn't want to play for them.
He suffered one concussion after another.
Later, he was traded to Philadelphia.
The Islanders are still paying DiPietro 1.5 million bucks till 2029. Yeah Mike Milbury was a bum of a GM a bum coach, a bum player, and a horrible analyst. Now he is unemployed after sexist comments in the 2020 playoffs.
For those who don’t know Leaf was picked ahead of Randy Moss and Charles Woodson
JaMarcus Russell: "I miss the game. The worst part? I shouldn't be in this situation."
Me: Nobody FORCED you to make the choices that you did.
Boston Bruins game 6 against the HAWKS!!!
3:20
Johnny Football lol
You picked the wrong Rogers from the Lions. Reggie Rogers, #9 overall pick who ran over three teenagers with his car.
Probably needed to mention that Leaf was a terrible person too.
Johnny Manziel should at least replace David Carr in honorable mention. Carr had zero pass protection. I’d also mention LaRue Martin, number 1 NBA draft pick in 1972. Ahead of Dr. J and Bob Mc Adoo.
Freddy adu Is sad
Darko atleast got a ring lol. Anthonny Bennett for sure and kwame
David Carr wasn't a draft bust he just was put with the wrong team at the wrong time
#10: Freddy Adu (dozens of people in the soccer world will keep fretting about him)
#6 JaMarcus Russell (dozens of NFL football fans in the world will keep fretting about him coming back to the NFL in 2020)
#1 Ryan Leaf (dozens of NFL football fans in the world will keep fretting about him coming back to the NFL in 2020)
I don’t think it’s fair to put Freddy Adu on this list he was 14 he was a child in a mans world.
So we’re not going to include people like Sam Bowie, but here he is anyway.
Adu never had the talent to begin with.
Don't know this counts as he came from another pro league rather than farm system or draft
Daisuke Matsuzaka – Press were super excited about him (like 'The Pitcher equivalent of Ichiro Suzuki' excited) and the Red Sox signed him to a 6 year contract worth 50 million after outbidding several other teams. He lasted 7 seasons in MLB with less than 60 wins to his name. SERIOUSLY didn't live up to the hype.
Uhhh good fuckin god jamarcus Russel left a giant shitstain on my raiders that has taken us a long time to overcome fuck he sucked!!!
I expected Andrea Bargnani to be in this list.
Sam Bowie big miss
Where nail yakpov
Rip Charles Rogers
If this video came out in 2019 than Nathan Peterman would be no.1
Yakupov
