Draft Picks that had potential that never panned out
#64
I remember visiting Icky Woods house the year he shredded his knee. I was a door to door cable tv salesman at the time and just happened to stumble across him in a lily white Cincinnati suburb thinking he might be there to rob the place.. (That sounds a LOT worse than it actually was at the time).. Anyway, I got the sale, the best one of the entire week if I remember right.. I asked him about the injury and he just shrugged it off like it was a hangnail or something. He seemed like it was just a minor injury, but I doubt he thought a cable TV salesman's opinion was super critical to his football career. (His first real mistake..LOL) 
Much to my own disgrace I kept that cable contract and forged his name on a blank then it just vanished from a dresser drawer.. My then wife probably pitched it out one day, but I'll never really know.. Maybe Icky snuck into my house at night and retrieved it..
In the immortal words of my old man, "Wait'll you get to be my age!"
