Who have you been most wrong on?
#1
Just a quick thread to have a bit of fun.  We all love to talk about how we knew a certain player was going to be a stud, but we don't talk as much about who we really whiffed on.  So let's have a go.  1 offensive player, and 1 defensive player each that you were just wrong about.

Offense:
Montee Ball, RB Wisconsin

College stats: 4 years, 5,140 rushing yards, 5.6 yards per carry, 77 touchdowns and more broken tackles than you could imagine.
Pro stats: 2 years, 731 rushing yards, 4.2 yards per carry, 5 touchdowns.
Montee was one of my favorite college football players ever.  I made a point to watch every game his junior and senior seasons.  I loved the way he ran.  He was a monster.  I was certain he was going to dominate in the nfl with his amazing vision, power, and speed.  Sadly his pro career never took off and personal issues derailed his career. 


Defense:
Trent Murphy, DE, Stanford

College stats: 4 years 32.5 sacks, 52.5 TFL, 2 Int, 2 FF
Pro stats: 7 years,26 sacks, 33 TFL, 1 Int, 10 FF
I was banging the table like mad for Murphy in the 2014 draft. Unfortunately he went off the board 8 picks before the Bengals in round 2.  I was positive he was going to be stud in the NFL and he has had a respectable career (PFF career grade of 66), he did not reach the stardom I thought he would. 

Fueled by satanism, violence, and sodomy, dinosaurs had little chance to survive as a species.
