But a lot of people still think of him as a bust because he did not live up to the hype.

I would put Wilkinson up there among the most underrated. He was a really good to even great Dlineman but like you say never really completely lived up to all the hype let alone being the number 1 draft pick.

For those of you to young to remember "Big Daddy" was the talk of football for a year. People calling for him to win the Heisman Trophy, on the cover of every sports magazine, people calling him the best Dlineman ever !

And despite him being a top NFL DT he wasn't quite able to live up to the expectations. With all the hype people expected him to be a one man wrecking crew.
