I'll try to avoid obvious ones. Like, is there anybody that didn't think Malik Hooker would be Ed Reed 2.0?
Joe McKnight is a big one for me. I was convinced that he would be the next great NFL RB coming out of USC. DK Metcalf is an honorable mention, here. I thought he'd suck due to his bad change of direction tests. I liked Ross coming out, too.
On D, Whitney Mercilus was a guy I thought would be an annual double digit sack guy. He hasn't been bad, but nowhere near what I thought he would be. I hated Clay Matthews coming out of college and was all about Brian Cushing(TBF I also hated Maualuga coming out). There's a couple of OSU S's I should throw in for different reasons. I was convinced Mike Doss would be a stud and Kirk Coleman wouldn't last 3 years in the league. Wrong on both.
