Player you had high hopes for but did not work out.

Hmmmm. Very good question. So many unfortunately.

2004 Draft: This draft was bad outside of Madieu Williams. Really thought Landon Johnson had a shot but never got to the next level after a solid rookie year.

Ki-Jana Carter: See posts above.

Dan Wilkinson: Thought he was going to be a Hall of Famer. Did ok, but production not worthy of #1 pick.

Reinard Wilson: His best year was his contract year. He did play for 6 seasons, so I guess he shouldn't be on this list.

Bernard Clark: Really thought he would be a stud at a position we needed back in 1990. Thought he and James Francis were going to be a great tandem.

Lamar Rogers: 1991 2nd round pick from Auburn. Didn't last long here for various reasons. Had a great college career.

Orson Charles: I was very high on him coming out of Georgia. Thought he would be our starting TE for years.

Cobi Hamilton: Loved him in college. Saw him play against Rutgers and he was a one man wrecking machine.

Brentson Buckner: Didn't last long here. Had a solid career with the Panthers afterward.
