Armon Binns should be on there, too. Perhaps no player exemplifies Bengal fandom more than Binns...ie:overhyping some scrub and praying to God he works out.
The omission of Rod "Toast" Jones is a damn travesty, though.
Ki-Jana shouldn't be on there. He wasn't over hyped, he was a first round draft pick that tore his leg up before they had the medical marvels of today. He wasn't able to cut and move like he did prior to the injury and just wasn't the same back.
Same thing that happened to David Pollack, just Pollack had half a season to get some stats before he broke his neck.
I never look at those guys as busts, they were just super freak accidents and ruined perfectly good careers.
Guys like Akili Smith, had health and all the chances in the world... they just sucked.
Rod Jones also fits this profile so well, 1st rounder of the Bucs, and just got torched for years.
