RG3 Had a fantastic rookie season and a great start to his second, until he got his knee blown out. Then again. Then again. He'd have a fantastic career in my opinion if it weren't for him losing, y'know, the soul things he needs as a rushing QB.
+Aidan Watson Ryan leaf's problem was his huge attitude problem the guy was a psycho and what really ended it for him was when he refused to have surgery on his wrist and that affected his throwing a lot. So had he not had the attitude he would have been great.
Yea this ain't the league of 'what ifs', bc every NFL player, especially Heisman trophy winners, are so talented that they all have what ifs. Shit happens, and Robert Griffin is just another bust, and he's no different than the rest of these guys. The only difference is his injury is still recent, and there is some hope that he can finish up as a serviceable QB. Even if he puts in another 6 or 8 years as a back up, if he manages that, no one can call him a bust. Anyone who spends 5+ seasons in the league, even they've never played a single down in meaningful play, that isn't a bust, that is a very successful career. A bust is someone who has been proven to be incapable to compete with athletes on that level, and that is Robert Griffin unless he can hang on a little longer. Because for him, either he can adapt and go as a #1, or he has no shot at making a team. It's either starter or nothing. Daunte Culpepper, Donovan McNab, Aaron Brooks, all proved themselves to be unworthy
Tim Tebow technically wasn't a bust....his first year as a starter got em to the playoffs and beat the steelers.....never had a job again....only thing he did was win
+renaissancemen1 Steve Smith? He's more than likely going to be in the HOF when he retires, but he doesn't have a ring. There are plenty of people in the HOF that never won a ring, are you saying they're not winners?
ROH Briscoe He went to San Diego State, which is smaller than the power conference schools but still a decent program nonetheless. He deserved the Heisman either way, and that showed in his NFL career.
+Sean McGuire It sounds like a Ladanian Tomlinson situation. He put up great numbers but he didn't play multiple top 25 teams to earn those yards. Imagine what Bo could've done at a small school. Or Marcus Allen. And pro success doesn't mean anything when talking about college. If he played at a bigger school than yeah, he would've won the heisman but he didn't because of his school's location in the rankings and competition.
ROH Briscoe Uh, no. SDSU played USC, #25 ranked BYU, #11 ranked UCLA, #24 ranked Hawaii, and #1 ranked Miami during that season.... his numbers weren't just against "small" schools.
+Sean McGuire Air Force, Texas El Paso, Birmingham Young, and they lost 17-63 against Miami. They had a 5-3 CONFRENCE record. They sucked. If your a heisman, you should be able to carry your team to a much better record. I'm not saying he didn't carry his team but they needed a better record.
I would say Steve Spurrier he was the 3rd pick in the 1967 NFL draft, he couldn't beat out niners legend John Brodie so he was basically a punter there and went to Tampa Bay and guided them to a winless season.
tebow is not a bust, he just never got a fair chance to start. he still took a trash 4-12 broncos team to the playoffs the next year with a playoff win while throwing mvp like stats in that game against a tough defense, there are soo many starters in the nfl without a playoff win. he is not a bust by any means, he just got screwed over by the broncos and then jets
I'm sick of Tebow fans HE IS A BUST omg he was never good look at the tecievers he had in 2011. And anyway would scramble more than pass. Mark Sanchez is better than him
Btw One playoff game he won. Sanchez got the jets to the championship game twice in a row one as a rookie. Tebow has had the chance to prove himself many times. If he was good he would've BEEN taken OVER BRADFORELD
sanchez had a very good ranked defense and a very good running game when he went to the 2 afc champ games, his stats weren't amazing during those years, that's why denver is a good fit for him and they can make the playoffs again with him, tebow took the broncos who were at 1-4 and finished 8-8 to win the title, and won their first playoff game since 2005 and they also were only at 4-12 the year before and beat the #1 ranked steelers defense in the playoff game, i believe tebow had the 20th ranked defense with his team that year
Most of these were QBs that were good athletes in a system that works in college but not in the NFL. That is why some of them were drafted late (Smith 5 round, Weinke 3rd round, Crouch, 3rd round as a WR, Wuerffel 6th round). With a lot of them it was predictable they weren't going to do well.
Cade7501 I know what fucking league he plays in dumb bitch my point is you don't have as much tape on a new quarterback so just because he has a good rookie year doesn't always mean anything.
+Aidan Watson yeah it kinda does, it's even more if he's doing good against pros his first year than if he was to do good in his prime, and wtf is up with you and film, this isn't high school or college, there are no scouts to watch film
I was just waiting for the end so I could throw out The One you didn't name from my town!...then you chose Andre Ware and deflated my enthusiasm.Good job even though the guys from the sixties and early seventies were beyond my old ass memory!
Tebow could have been a star if only he was given a chance. Yeah he was but he needs a special offense that is designed for him. But no NFL team is willing to do that. RgIII's career isn't done yet. Hope he change people's mind about him.
+Sena Kobayakawa ehh. Ya sorta do feel bad for him being replaced by Manning then not having a chance to start else where. I really think my eagles screwed him when he clearly won the 3rd string job in the last game of the pre-season. But the media hype is what killed him.. I mean really Sam Bradford and RG Injury are still in the league
+Buidalot yeah he played better than most of the other qb's on the roster in preseason, and he got screwed by chip and didn't make the roster while more worse qb's did, he should have got the 2nd string job, if he played over bradford he would have beat the redskins for the nfc east title
Tebow wasn't a bust, we just never gave him a hands. Plus Tebow can't even be called a bust, he would've gone 3rd round of we didn't make the stupid move to pick him up in the FIRST. And lastly, he is pretty clutch
Tebow wasn't a bust led a horrible to to a playoff berth and won a game. He would prove himself as an elite quarterback if he was given a chance in the league.
His stats weren't really all that good, actually they were horrible the year he lead the Bronco's to the playoffs. If you look back at the games it was more of the Bronco's having amazing luck for a run than Tebow really winning the games... He had chances afterward and never panned out.
Aidan Watson I mean look up the season... compared to almost every QB that year, Tebow's stats really sucked. It's not a "nope" kind of thing, it's a fact lol. As for Elway, he got Manning, one of the best QB's to ever play the game, who would you have started?
+Drew Zaio yeah that's true but I would still say he was a bust just because injuries are included in being a bust. Who knows tho he was good so if he comes back this year like his rookie season I will eat my words
"The Rams drafted Crouch hoping hed be the successor to Kurt Warner" 3 seconds later.... "Crouch was drafted as a wide receiver" WTF are you dopes talking about?
People are acting as if RG3 is 38 years old, the dude is only 26 and still has time to turn his career around and to call him a bust is a waayy overboard...
Exactly. The Browns may not be the best place for him, but in Washington they asked him to literally kill himself every down. He can definitely make a come back, I'm definitely still a fan. He's not a bust yet, he had problems with the front office too.
I think he does well and sparks a growth in Cleveland. Not even a browns fan, no where near it. I've like the 49ers since i was 5 and ill even admit when they suck, but as smart as cleveland played this draft and with all the picks the next 2 years, i think theyre on to something.
15:It's early to put RG3 on here 14: Tebow won a playoff game 13: Manziel should be highter 12: Chris Weinke, ehh 11: Gary Beban, who's that? 10: Troy Smith, talk about a bust 9: Eric Crouch, never heard of him 8: Matt Leinart must be higher 7: Terry Baker 6: Pat Sullivan, who knows? 5: Gino Torretta, 7th Round for a reason 4: John Rodgers, hard to be a multi-posistion player 3: Danny Wuerffel, meh 2: Rashaan Salaam say what you will he did an ok job 1: Andre Ware he is a legend (of what not to be)
Not sure about RG III. He was very badly used and made to play when he was very hurt. I think if he could just shake the injury problems started by that stupid coach he might still shine.
You can't be a bust unless you were drafted in the first round. If a Heisman winner was drafted anywhere past the first round then there was no risk of taking them in the first place.
you know what is funny in 2008 Troy Smith did end up beating Joe Flacco for the starting qb spot but he ended up getting an illness before the season began and it fucked up his nfl career and joe flacco went on to be a beast. also one weird thing was troy would have been picked earlier in the draft before the 5th round if he didn't get blown out in that 2007 bcs championship game and if he was taller as well. i also remember browns fans were having petitions for the browns to draft him but they took brady quinn instead in the 1st round. ah those times. i could also end of by saying that troy was also the first african american qb to start a game for the 49ers in 2010, he did show sucess at the end but he never got resigned.
Getting drafted 7th, 5th & 4th round don't add up to being a bust. Yea they heisman winners but that means they were never destined to succeed in the NFL being drafted late.
dude, I am a Ohio State fan and I strongly believe that troy smith is a huge Bust, not sure if you know anything about his off the field trouble, but that had something to do with it
I remember that Eric Crouch story they should have gave him a chance as Quarterback he was a great playmaker he would found the way to win an suceed in that position
Actually during RG3's first year he did really well before he got injured and Baylor doesn't even run a spread offense so at least try to learn something before you say incorrect information.
I don't understand what's with the excuse of Tebow having a good defense. The defense was not ranked high in that year. y'all make it seem as we had the defense Peyton Manning had. In fact Peyton Manning had a defense was top 3 in nearly every defensive category, meanwhile Tebow had a defense that was average, if you actually look at the defensive stats they were in the middle of the league if not a bit lower, how is that a defense to depend on. To be honest the Denver's run game was the only good thing they had which was because of Tebow.
+ZeroToTheLeft our defense was only good 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 season the Broncos defense was terrible with on 2012 and 2013 season we had no defense with tebow so idk why people are saying our defense was carrying
It's just that rg3 was hurt and he kept having to play in a way he did t want to under shamalan, he made rg3 run a lot when he wanted to be mainly pocket passer
That moment you realize that only NINE Heisman winners are in the Hall of Fame Doak Walker Paul Hornung OJ Simpson Roger Staubach (the only QB on this list) Tony Dorsett Earl Campbell Marcus Allen Barry Sanders Tim Brown
+Brandon Weir He has good chance to though. Think about it. Look at the line he ran behind last year. It included the best center in the draft (Ryan Kelly). Mark Ingram went Bust and Lacy should be doing better. Not certain but there's a chance.
This man said.. and I quote. “He looked primed and ready to be a superstar, being drafted in the seventh round.” ....... SEVENTH ROUND! It is literally not possible to be a bust as a seventh round pick
Look, the reason why RGIII flopped in DC (besides injuries) was because he refused to play under the system the skins implemented his rookie year, because despite his success he was worried that he would get injured too often. But as we all know he wound up getting injured anyways. The Redskins wanted to continue using RGIII in the zone read offense, but he didn't want to and as a result his career went down the drain because he simply can't perform at such a high standard in any other option. So unless the Browns somehow convince him to run the zone read and RGIII manages to avoid injuries, then we can call him a bust. It's sucks that the skins gave up so much for him, but now we have cousins and I wish all the best for rgiii
I never thought Reggie Bush lived up to the hype. Guy was a beast in college. Probably not a bust but i thought he would go down as one of the best to play the game.
why henry. i do believe he did very good in college because he shred through some easy defenses, in the nfl it will be harder, but the last time the titans took a heisman RB in eddie george he was a beast though.
Firstly, I have disagree without about 3 players in this list...RG3, Tim Tebow, and Johnny Manziel...They aren't bust at all. RG3 has been dealing with injuries but did win Offensive rookie of the year and guided his Redskins to the playoffs...Tim Tebow did the same except didn't win the award...and he never got a chance after he left Denver...and Johnny is dealing with off the field issues...the chances he fit to start he did well...I'm confused to see why they'd be bust...
".and Johnny is dealing with off the field issues." That is why he is a bust like Leaf and Phillips were. No team wants to take on a player like that. And Tebow was never good.
This isn't a bad list but like in the case of Troy Smith... He was drafted in the 5th round... Even if your a Heisman winner but your still drafted that low its obvious that the NFL doesn't see a very high ceiling on a player. Considering MOST 5th rounders don't become great players I don't think that classifies anyone as being a bust... It seems its what's expected.
I agree Archie Griffin should be on here,but his situation was strange.Quite simply,his coach didn't want him there.I assume the Bengals drafted him because he was out of OSU and thought he would people in the seats.I would like to have seen what he would have done on another team with a different approach to offense.
The biggest bust ever is is Terry Wayne Baker. He won the Heisman Trophy and played in the final four in his senior year in college. He was drafted 1 overall by the St Louis Rams in 1963 as a QB. Do you want to know his career stats as a field general?? Check this out: 12 Completions 21 Attempts, for 154 yards. He played most of his career as a running back and only played in 18 games. There is your biggest bust. You can thank me later!!
Troy Smith is higher on this list than RG3, Tebow, and Jonny Manziel? Areee you serious? He was drafted in the 5th round to be a backup. The other 3 guys were 1st round picks and a lot of "NFL pundits" expected a lot from them.
RG3 Had a fantastic rookie season and a great start to his second, until he got his knee blown out. Then again. Then again. He'd have a fantastic career in my opinion if it weren't for him losing, y'know, the soul things he needs as a rushing QB.
sole*
I agree RG3's rookie year was great until he met the Seahawks in the Playoffs.
+Dave Ash he was up 14-0 against the seahawks before his knee gave out..
+Aidan Watson Ryan leaf's problem was his huge attitude problem the guy was a psycho and what really ended it for him was when he refused to have surgery on his wrist and that affected his throwing a lot. So had he not had the attitude he would have been great.
Yea this ain't the league of 'what ifs', bc every NFL player, especially Heisman trophy winners, are so talented that they all have what ifs.

Daunte Culpepper, Donovan McNab, Aaron Brooks, all proved themselves to be unworthy
Sam Bradford isn't a bust you try playing behind that Rams o line
I didn't even see him in there
He's not on the list? I don't think many people consider him a bust. He's a starting QB right now.
hambone694 yes, and for my favorite team.
+OMGitsKdOg900 Gaming YOUR AN EAGLES FAN??!?!?!!!!!?? HYPE...

Plus if I remember correctly he got really sick and almost died

+HomeVidEdd yeah he's not even a bust
+Your Host Ghost! he isn't a bust because he still has a chance to come back he's playing for the browns this upcoming season

Can I see his super bowl ring???? That is what "winners" have.
+renaissancemen1 he only had one year....no winner wins there first year
+renaissancemen1 Steve Smith? He's more than likely going to be in the HOF when he retires, but he doesn't have a ring. There are plenty of people in the HOF that never won a ring, are you saying they're not winners?
+renaissancemen1 Barry Sanders doesn't have a ring, so I guess he's not a winner? or good?
Andre Ware was a beast in Tecmo Super Bowl. Him at the QB, Sanders at the RB and Mel Gray on the return.
Torretta didn't even deserve to win the Heisman, Marshall Faulk was WAY better that year.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Faulk play for a small school?
ROH Briscoe He went to San Diego State, which is smaller than the power conference schools but still a decent program nonetheless. He deserved the Heisman either way, and that showed in his NFL career.
+Sean McGuire It sounds like a Ladanian Tomlinson situation. He put up great numbers but he didn't play multiple top 25 teams to earn those yards. Imagine what Bo could've done at a small school. Or Marcus Allen. And pro success doesn't mean anything when talking about college. If he played at a bigger school than yeah, he would've won the heisman but he didn't because of his school's location in the rankings and competition.

I'm sick of Tebow fans HE IS A BUST omg he was never good look at the tecievers he had in 2011. And anyway would scramble more than pass. Mark Sanchez is better than him
Btw One playoff game he won. Sanchez got the jets to the championship game twice in a row one as a rookie. Tebow has had the chance to prove himself many times. If he was good he would've BEEN taken OVER BRADFORELD

+BossManiacGames you are right he is not a bust he will be back again he will play for 49ers

yeah bro, the 49ers should start him, if they are serious about winning

RG3 could've been something special in the league, just look at his rookie season.
Rookie seasons aren't reliable. All you have is college tape. NFL isn't college.
+Aidan Watson are you stupid? Your rookie season is in the nfl
Cade7501 I know what fucking league he plays in dumb bitch my point is you don't have as much tape on a new quarterback so just because he has a good rookie year doesn't always mean anything.
+Aidan Watson You're the dumb bitch, the point of their rookie year is to show how the play in the pros, a good rookie year does mean something idiot
+Aidan Watson yeah it kinda does, it's even more if he's doing good against pros his first year than if he was to do good in his prime, and wtf is up with you and film, this isn't high school or college, there are no scouts to watch film
love this channel !
Wait... How does a Heilman trophy winner get picked 106th. And how does he have hype?
Troy Smith was picked in the 5th round, idk why either.
do super late picks really count as busts? i don't expect 6th and 7th round picks to even make the first team

"Crouch was drafted as a wide receiver"
WTF are you dopes talking about?
For me the most shocking bust was Johnny Rodgers,I remember watching him in college.I thought only an injury could stop him!
Thought you said Aaron Rodgers was a bust for a moment, was about to go off lmfao
I'm confused. He was only stopped by injury. He had a bad knee injury that ended his career a few games into his second year in the league.

Not sure about RG III. He was very badly used and made to play when he was very hurt. I think if he could just shake the injury problems started by that stupid coach he might still shine.
You can't be a bust unless you were drafted in the first round. If a Heisman winner was drafted anywhere past the first round then there was no risk of taking them in the first place.
Johnny "Johnny Oddball" Manziel. Mr Disappointment. He might have a future in the NFL if he ever grows up. Look for pigs to fly first.

What about Reggie Bush, or was he only excluded from this list because his Heisman was revoked?
he wasn't a bust.
Sam Bradford?
Bradford isn't that terrible his legs are just made of paper
I love how the people who were draft like in 100s are considered "busts"
How is Johnny Manziel not the top. His entire NFL career there was never a single good play
Getting drafted 7th, 5th & 4th round don't add up to being a bust. Yea they heisman winners but that means they were never destined to succeed in the NFL being drafted late.
Troy smith isn't a bust if he was drafted in the 5th round
dude, I am a Ohio State fan and I strongly believe that troy smith is a huge Bust, not sure if you know anything about his off the field trouble, but that had something to do with it
I remember that Eric Crouch story they should have gave him a chance as Quarterback he was a great playmaker he would found the way to win an suceed in that position
RG3 is a system QB same reason Colin K is bad rn
Manziel just doesn't want to put in work cuz he's a spoiled rich kid who never suffers consequences
Couldn't of said it better
Actually during RG3's first year he did really well before he got injured and Baylor doesn't even run a spread offense so at least try to learn something before you say incorrect information.
+Dillan Brown L
+Isaiah Delgado For me or for that dude with the name up there.
Eric Crouch was never meant to replace Kurt Warner. He was drafted as a WR and was never going to be considered to play QB for any reason.
Tim Teabo was never given a real chance, He took the Bronco's to the playoffs, and beat the Steelers!
+Troy Brownrigg exactly what I'm trying to say
but that steelers team was hurt bad,and he also had a good defense carry him
I don't understand what's with the excuse of Tebow having a good defense. The defense was not ranked high in that year. y'all make it seem as we had the defense Peyton Manning had. In fact Peyton Manning had a defense was top 3 in nearly every defensive category, meanwhile Tebow had a defense that was average, if you actually look at the defensive stats they were in the middle of the league if not a bit lower, how is that a defense to depend on. To be honest the Denver's run game was the only good thing they had which was because of Tebow.
+ZeroToTheLeft our defense was only good 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 season the Broncos defense was terrible with on 2012 and 2013 season we had no defense with tebow so idk why people are saying our defense was carrying
teabo?
Bro this guy has better videos than some people with 1 million subscribers so yeah
Trent Richardson
Yea
He didn't win heisman
Archie Griffen won two Heisman trophies while at Ohio State. Lasted maybe two seasons with the Bengals before retiring if memory serves me right
the browns should get rg3 back on track especially with all the receivers they drafted
yeah the Browns have such a great track record. lol
It's just that rg3 was hurt and he kept having to play in a way he did t want to under shamalan, he made rg3 run a lot when he wanted to be mainly pocket passer
And they have Hue Jackson and look what he did with Andy Dalton I hope RG3 gets back
I love how all these comments are good about the Browns cause I'm all Cleveland team fan
He did good last night
The Heisman curse is a real thing, given the repeated occurrences. BTW, you could add Steve Spurirer.
where is reggie bush
Dude he is the opposite of a bust he did really good his rookie year but just went downhill from there, I personally don't consider him a bust
reggie was a probowler
+Mitchell Lawlor reggie never went to the pro bowl, he was a decent player, but not more than that
In Buffalo, on his 11th season.
Only 1 other RB from the 2006 draft class is still on an active roster.
Respek it.
He's played great in the NFL he's just gets injured too much
I’m from Nebraska and I’m happy we have this many Heismen, but sadly, we have some busts.😕
lol rg3 was good his second year till he got injured
and then played him while he was hurt
+marcellus payne also they never taught him how to slide
bust
+Dillan Brown u talking to yo self gay man
That moment you realize that only NINE Heisman winners are in the Hall of Fame
Doak Walker
Paul Hornung
OJ Simpson
Roger Staubach (the only QB on this list)
Tony Dorsett
Earl Campbell
Marcus Allen
Barry Sanders
Tim Brown
soon to be Derrick henry
no deshaun Watson
You're dumb
Lmao, still mad over the championship. Youre just upset that Deshaun lost the heisman. Derrick wont bust
+Brandon Weir He has good chance to though. Think about it. Look at the line he ran behind last year. It included the best center in the draft (Ryan Kelly). Mark Ingram went Bust and Lacy should be doing better. Not certain but there's a chance.
No it wont
do NBA Draft busts next
odell
I hope your kidding...
True
+Bruh Man how is he a bust? You clearly know nothing about football your just hating on him cause he's popular and he's good
2 seasons as a top 8 receiver
he didnt even win the heisman
Two years later, am I now the only one who still belives in RG3 when he is with the Ravens?
This man said.. and I quote. “He looked primed and ready to be a superstar, being drafted in the seventh round.” ....... SEVENTH ROUND! It is literally not possible to be a bust as a seventh round pick
The Heisman curse is real. If I were a GM, I'd never draft a Heisman winner.
finally a football video that's thumbnail is not the cowboys
Look, the reason why RGIII flopped in DC (besides injuries) was because he refused to play under the system the skins implemented his rookie year, because despite his success he was worried that he would get injured too often. But as we all know he wound up getting injured anyways. The Redskins wanted to continue using RGIII in the zone read offense, but he didn't want to and as a result his career went down the drain because he simply can't perform at such a high standard in any other option. So unless the Browns somehow convince him to run the zone read and RGIII manages to avoid injuries, then we can call him a bust. It's sucks that the skins gave up so much for him, but now we have cousins and I wish all the best for rgiii
I never thought Reggie Bush lived up to the hype. Guy was a beast in college. Probably not a bust but i thought he would go down as one of the best to play the game.
will mariota and henry from the titans soon be on the list?????
*****
ugh mariota another great qb getting his career messed up with the titans, hope the best for him and same with henry
why henry. i do believe he did very good in college because he shred through some easy defenses, in the nfl it will be harder, but the last time the titans took a heisman RB in eddie george he was a beast though.
Firstly, I have disagree without about 3 players in this list...RG3, Tim Tebow, and Johnny Manziel...They aren't bust at all. RG3 has been dealing with injuries but did win Offensive rookie of the year and guided his Redskins to the playoffs...Tim Tebow did the same except didn't win the award...and he never got a chance after he left Denver...and Johnny is dealing with off the field issues...the chances he fit to start he did well...I'm confused to see why they'd be bust...
".and Johnny is dealing with off the field issues."
That is why he is a bust like Leaf and Phillips were. No team wants to take on a player like that. And Tebow was never good.
So many people TRIGGERED when they saw they fav player
Forgot Desmond Howard, Reggie Bush (vacated), Ricky Williams, and Ron Dayne
do top 15 players in college who were terrible but a legend in the NFL
This isn't a bad list but like in the case of Troy Smith... He was drafted in the 5th round... Even if your a Heisman winner but your still drafted that low its obvious that the NFL doesn't see a very high ceiling on a player. Considering MOST 5th rounders don't become great players I don't think that classifies anyone as being a bust... It seems its what's expected.
What about reggie bush?? and Jason white??
I agree Archie Griffin should be on here,but his situation was strange.Quite simply,his coach didn't want him there.I assume the Bengals drafted him because he was out of OSU and thought he would people in the seats.I would like to have seen what he would have done on another team with a different approach to offense.
RG3 wasn't a bust. he just is injury prone
Hmm, with all of these late round picks from older drafts, I wonder if the Heisman Trophy winner is overvalued today
The biggest bust ever is is Terry Wayne Baker. He won the Heisman Trophy and played in the final four in his senior year in college. He was drafted 1 overall by the St Louis Rams in 1963 as a QB. Do you want to know his career stats as a field general?? Check this out: 12 Completions 21 Attempts, for 154 yards. He played most of his career as a running back and only played in 18 games. There is your biggest bust. You can thank me later!!
what about Ryan leaf. where do you put him I put him at number 1
A bust can be someone who is injured constantly so I agree with the rg3 pick because injuries are a part of the game
I saw tebow on hear and ima bout ready to go berserk,it's not his fault nobody would let him play and when he did he was good
Troy Smith is higher on this list than RG3, Tebow, and Jonny Manziel? Areee you serious? He was drafted in the 5th round to be a backup. The other 3 guys were 1st round picks and a lot of "NFL pundits" expected a lot from them.
people have to expect you to be good, if they're weren't picked high they can't be a bust
RG3 had a good rookie season, he just had a lot of injuries, so you can't blame him for not being a superstar.
You should do the top 10 players that should've won the heisman trophy but didn't
You forgot to mention *Chris Weinke* was *28* when he won the Heisman and *Eric Crouch* was an *option QB*
And no *Steve Spurrier* ?
Jay Berwanger- first ever heisman trophy winner and never played in a professional game
If Ken Dorsey won the Heisman, I'm sure he would be on this list. Sadly no one ever gave him a chance in the NFL.
In 1992, Gino Torretta won, but the Heisman should have gone to San Diego State running back Marshall Faulk.
hey tps you should show a list of sports stars who played other sports
